Boxes to hold gear in the car/truck

[Eric Woodbury]

I made mine from 1/2" plywood. 3/4" is gastly heavy. It's big enough to hold the 5x7 and some film holders. I lined it with 4 ply mat board. It was strong enough to sit or stand on. Now I travel in a van and in the back is a platform with room for camera bags, film holders in ammo boxes, tripods, etc, under the platform. Bed on top of platform.

OTOH, if an experienced thief "feels" that there is something valuable in the case bolted to the car (why would it be bolted if no value ?) he simply steals the car.
Just for joking...
The most important thing is of course to complicate his job, to slow him down sufficiently to discourage his attempt. Sometimes a simple warning siren completes the protection.

Gawd, you guys are protective of your gear my last car didn't even have a door lock (well it did, but I didn't have a matching key ). I had it for six years, and all I got taken once was an old Swiss Army pocket knife out of the glove box. My reasoning is: Simply don't leave stuff in the car for any length of time and if you do, don't make it obvious.
"Lowepro" bag in the passenger seat and a a cellphone on the dash are asking for it....My father's station-wagon has one of those cargo sliding blinds; he's only ever had his cellphone stolen
Now, what was the original question ?
