I've got a plywood lid over some tire chains and a tow strap, I'd be on thin ice in Ohio or Pennsylvania.

I wonder what they would consider "hidden" because like has been said every single car sold today has spots that could be considered hidden compartment besides the spare tire compartment a lot of cars have panels in the trunk that open up that hold the jack and tire iron or cargo netting or storage in the seat if you have one of those flip down cup holder/storage box things in the middle seat. Or those magnetic hide a key boxes

In my car the spot where the power window switch would go if I had them on the center console has a plastic piece that pops out and you could stick stuff inside the console just behind the shifter.
