Bolted to a cross member, or glued to a floor pan or sidewall...

combination lock - so i never have to worry about an extra key.

If somebody wants it bad enough, yes, they can gain access with some basic hand tools... but it most certainly is not grab-n-go easy, which serves my purpose for temporary storage when needed.
I'd prefer something where I can disarm and stow before I get out of the driver's seat. Never know who's watching you come around the back and stuff it in the trunk, that just stands out as atypical behavior and might make some more curious than they need to be.

Any recommendations on the lock boxes?
