I suspect that someone who lives with me wants to steal some very

them.  I don't feel safe trusting the stuff with friends, because this
person and I share the same friends.  Renting a storage room seems
like overkill.  A bank vault box would be inconvenient.  But it's not
anything illegal, so I have no problem with showing ID.

Any ideas?

Take a 4" diameter piece of PVC pipe as long as you need for items in
question and glue end cap to bottom and bury vertically in the ground
with top a few inches below surface.  Take a second 3" piece and glue
base cap on.  Place items in 3" piece and press end cap on hand tight.
Drop into larger piece in ground, hand press top end cap on 4" piece.
Push a little loose dirt over pipe, and place rock on top.

Actually this approach doesn't work very well.

I have seen water damage in a number of these setups.

Also it does not lend itself to frequent access.
