What are you trying to protect? I don't personally trust ANY lock boxes because yeah, it locks your shit, but a snip here or there with some heavy duty bolt cutters will allow the actual BOX to be taken.

It sounds like he just wants a lockable container for privacy protection in the event of a search of his vehicle (it's safe to assume for these purposes that the intent of the searchers isn't theft, if you know what I mean).
Sorry RP, I don't really have any experience with shopping for lock boxes.

People will just take the whole box with them.
All of the firesafes and other shitty little key lock boxes are simple as shit to pick. 2 paperclips and anyone with the slightest knowledge can open them.
A combination lock safe is a lot more secure. If you want a key lock look in the lock cylinder. If you see a flat piece of metal (wafer) it's easy as shit to pick. If you see a round pin it's equivalent to a standard door lock. (fairly hard to pick)

Standard door locks are easy to pick and even easier to bump.
All lock boxes should be bolted down.

They're a huge leap above the cheap ass wafer locks. Not all locks can be bumped easily, and most are fairly hard to pick. Most locksmiths even will pick them only as a last resort. They always try carding first and will often drill them out before picking them IME. The times I've seen them in action they tell the customer that the picking charge is more than the lock is worth and tell them to just get a new one.
