Friends car was broken into over the 4th while he was enjoying a Fireworks display and concert afterwards with his family. His wasn't the only one as they went down a line of cars in a parking lot ..
Ended up with a broken window in the door of his Jeep Wrangler Hardtop .. good news didn't get the pistol that was in the vehicle! They found the Tuffy compartment under the passenger seat but weren't able to pry it open. Pried the console box open and ruined the top of it, which was also locked, open it and took a few self made cd's, and his daughters phone the reason it was locked.
The Tuffy box, Tuffy JK Conceal Carry Passenger's Side Security Drawer had pry marks around the front and looked like they hit it with something but the 16 gage steel held up nicely .. The tubular key is almost impossible to pick or pry open. LEO said he was lucky he had had it installed or his pistol would be in the hands of a gang right now! He said 4 or 5 of the officers came over and looked at the box and commented they wished everyone would install something along that line to secure their weapons when leaving them in a vehicle, and not just in the console which can be pried open with a screwdriver !
We both had these put in our Jeeps mine first and his when he got it .. Its big enough to put 2 pistols maybe 3 with extra clips. I lined mine with some foam to keep anything from sliding around and to cushion what ever I put in it so it wouldn't vibrate to make noise .. Just dabbed a little glue a couple of places on the bottom of the foam to hold it in place. Its 17"L x 6 1/2"W (chamfered corner) x 3 5/16"H (chamfered corner)
I highly recommend this for anyone looking for a secure compartment to store your fire arm when unable to carry into a area and forced to leave it in the car/truck/van . So much better secured then just your vehicles console or glove box which Illinois law says is legal to use.
