Under The Rim Of The Patio Table

Take your spare house key and secure it to the underside of the rim of your patio table where it is not in plain sight of anyone that is walking by. You might need to use an industrial strength of tape in order to get it to stick. You will want to make sure that you are always keeping the patio chairs nicely pushed in so people are less likely to mess around with your table.

Under A Piece Of Your Flowerbed Border
