I would presume that locking Foci away in any box hides them pretty well. Kinda
like Kryptonite in a lead box! The box wouldn't let anyone see through it
without actually poking their head in, right? Perhaps ritual magic might find
it but thats stretching it a bit. Also, an Astral "detective" poking his head
into every container in every room, assuming he knew where you were staying,
would take a little while. Should be easy to set that watcher or elemental to
report such suspicious behaviour.

Also, what if you put your foci into a lead box inside a natural, carved wooden
container? Would that really block someone from looking in?
