Compare to [[ConstructiveBodyDisposal Constructive Body Disposal]], where a dead body is hidden in a building under construction, [[HiddenSupplies Hidden Supplies]] and EmergencyStash, which is often used to hide ammo and weapons. Contrast with InsideAWall where a character hides between the walls. BookSafe is also an option for smaller objects, and it avoids messing too much with a floor.
