== Film ==
* In ''[[Commando (Filmfilm)|Commando]]'', Matrix just happens to have a gun safe with automatic weapons at his house.
* Neil Shaw (Wesley Snipes) accessed an emergency stash of I.D. and money in the movie ''The Art of War''. It was hidden behind a mirror in the apartment of the one comrade who didn't betray him.
* In ''[[Men in Black (Filmfilm)|Men in Black]] 2'', J and K access an emergency stash of weapons after the MiB HQ is in [[Lockdown]]. The people who live where the weapons are stored have no idea they are there.
* In ''[[Total Recall]]'', a mysterious stranger delivers a suitcase with an emergency stash to Douglas Quaid. The twist is that Quaid {{spoiler|set up the stash himself, but he has no memory of it}}.
* In ''[[The Bourne Series (Filmfilm)|The Bourne Identity]]'', Jason Bourne wakes up with no memories, and the only information he's carrying is an address and a long number. Following them leads him to a bank account and an emergency stash that he doesn't remember having.
** He's rather relieved when he finds a passport that has his name on it, then he finds the other passports and becomes even more confused.
* In ''[[The Long Kiss Goodnight]]'', {{spoiler|Charly}} has one of these.
Line 32:
== Literature ==
* In a ''Hulk'' novella this is how Bruce Banner was able to restock himself with clothes - he kept accounts in several banks in larger cities, and he had his ATM cards stuck in a secure location in his clothes so when he Hulked Out he could get at the money.
* In ''[[Artemis Fowl (Literature)|Artemis Fowl]]'' it is mentioned the Butler keeps a large suitcase full of fake IDs, clothes, and assorted guns in every major airport in the world, as this saves a lot of hassle with the security (and given the many (many) weapons he keeps on his person, who can blame him?).
* In the Discworld book "[[Discworld (Literature)/Going Postal|Going Postal]]" Moist Von Lipwig has amassed and hidden a large amount money over the course of his career as a con man. {{spoiler|He later digs it up and uses the money to rebuild the Post Office.}}
** He also keeps supplies - disguises, forgery supplies, fake diamond rings, etc. - in several stashes spread across the city.
