Carlton you are labouring under a delusion if you think the burglars wont find it. If it is there they know every nook and cranny you are likely to use to hide it. And they will turn everything upside down to do so. Besides which, you might as well get some interest on it, even if it is only a small amount. I suppose you could carry it about with you, but there are muggers who will mug you for a pound and also you might possibly accidentally lose it. No, much as I hate to say it the banks are the safest places to leave it.
