   This is not a direct response to your question, just a handy heads-up.

   I came walking hone one Thursday evening through a park across the street from my house.  I observed a Pelican case (https://www.pelican.com) up in a tree.  Someone had painted it silver and covered it in duct tape.  When I saw this I thought damn, what a good idea!  I own a bright orange Pelican case.  Any knowledgeable person seeing it can realize I spent a lot of money on a box to put something in, like my old SLR camera.  Since then, I have paid $140 for a newer one for my DSLR camera. 

   On Saturday, the police cordoned the street off and called in the bomb squad.  As far as I can tell, someone spotted the case, and they called the police in panic.  If you are doing anything weird, call the police and warn them.  They may have useful tips for you!
