For many people, privacy is very important, let alone keeping valuable belongings and memories safe from wandering eyes. This can lead them to create hiding spots at home that, in addition to adding a little mystery to their lives, can literally be a door to the unknown. Clearly, not even the most experienced thief would think about looking for belongings in these places.
