I ran across one of these a few years ago when we were doing a charity house fix up. Do they make it with a ground up?

If I find anyone going through my house looking at my receptacles, they're gonna die of either lead poisoning or copper infection.

They do, but everything falls right out when you open it.

I always thought a 2 gang cut in box would make a good wall hiding place. I can get my fat hand into a 2g hole.

I think a 6x6 Carlon PVC box buried in the back yard is a much safer place. You could even hide several dozen toothbrushes in it.
Just take lots of pictures and take lots of measurements so you can make yourself a Treasure Map.
