And for most college-bound students that means you’re heading back to the dorms.

The Hidden Closet safe: A safe that blends into your closet. It looks like a regular shirt you place on a hanger only this shirt zips down to unveil 9 pockets to hold anything from cash to expensive jewelry.

“The campus thief is looking for a quick hit and will first go to your desk and dresser. The key to making these devices work is to keep them your secret. Don’t tell anyone about them, not even your best friend,” Steve Kardian", a school safety and security expert, told FoxNews.com.
