This good friend of mine recently started going through a divorce. His soon to be former wife launched the divorce on him and he was clueless it was happening until it was too late. He kept 175-200k USD(!) in his safe at home and his wife made off with that. She cleaned out the checking acct (another 35k) and the savings acct (10k). She even took cash advances on all the credit cards to the max. All the direct debit charges from the mortgage to his FPL electric bill bounced due to NSF.
Another friend of mine had 12k taken from his house by his drug addict son in law during a visit.
If you plan on keeping cash as security, keep it secret and keep it safe from your family. Your more likely to have it taken by a family member then by a burglar.
