Nothing is safe in a vehicle fullstop. If its that valuable don't leave it in the car. The best you can do is hide everything from prying eyes. And even then you still risk some b.....d breaking in just to see what is there. My cruiser is full of "stuff" as it is permanently setup for going away (I am retired). What I have done to address this problem is this. The back window and the back side windows I have covered with shiny sun protectors cut to shape and button velcroed on. All windows are darkened is dark as is legal. And when I park I ALWAYS cover the windscreen with the sun shade. This not only keeps the car cooler and the beer icy, it makes the inside of the car dark enough that it is also impossible to see anything clearly through the windows. I have also put some blinking led lights in the centre of the cargo barrier facing forward which really stand out even when it is broad daylight outside. The idea being that any potential thief can easily them and is hopefully tricked into to believing that the vehicle has some fancy alarm system. Has worked well for the last 6 years.

Put the safe on view...No one will touch it !!

Ask anyone with a ute how often they have things stolen from the ute tray...Almost never ! ... In the mind of the would be thief there must be a catch cos no one leaves things in plain sight.

The crooks will not touch your safe because it is to much work for nothing. Every flea and it's dog has got a safe these days. The crooks know it and they also know that most people simply do not put valuable things in the safe. The crooks know the only way in is with an oxy or grinder which will damage or destroy the contents.

Just use a shopping bag on the back seat in full view...No crook is going to break into your car just to see if it's really baked beans or something valuable ;)

Now there is an idea.
Get one of those bottles of sliced peaches or fruit salad and hide stuff in a plastic bottle inside.
Unless thieves like sliced peaches they would never guess IMHO. Maybe sauerkraut would be better.

There are and have been several small safes, strong boxes or brief cases arround designed to be secured in vehicles.

They generally are not made by retail safe brands....some are direct sold, like the one mentioned, others are available from a few specialist suppliers like gun shops.

It realy is not hard to make something to do the job... a bit of steel plate or a short piece of rather large RHS and a little time with a welder...a variety of locking mechanisms ..off the shelf.... no problems.

The thing is where to put it...in a waggon, inside the rear trim pannels or inside the rear doors of a troopie are options.

Frankly I get sick and tyred of people wo try and tell us that there is no point locking vehicles or that any security measure is a waste of time, because they will get it if they want it..

The vast majority of theves are..not very clever, not well prepared, not determined and opportunists who want to pick up something quick and easy.

All our security measures are for these people.

A safe on its own is not a solution...but as part of a devious plan that involves concielment, misdirection, time wasting, making it hard and a little surprise, you can prove yourself more determined to keep ya stuff than they are to take it.
