Transcript

Start at the top, slowly make your way to the bottom. Now that I've done that, I'm just gonna run a marker through it. Make sure to do both sides. Now take a knife and run it through the middle of the tape. Run it through the middle of the tape. Put a zip tie around the handle and tighten it up. Remember to cut off the excess. Now that I've done that, I'm gonna take a lock, stick it over the zip tie. Lock it up. Take a look. Most people don't know about this hidden compartment. So set the key in the middle and just put it right back where you found it. Take a look.
