Most car burglars are opportunists (aka lazy). They walk through neighborhoods checking handles for unlocked doors then rummage, or they peer in and smash and grab if they see something worth the risk.Time is all that’s needed. Think about this: you’re vehicle is only so secure…then one of y’all buys a safe on Amazon to save money or a “high end” website. Burglar already got his jiggler key or rake set and done. Only a few minutes have passed.
(If the burglar can see the lockbox, is the gun both there and not there until they open it and it is there or it is not there?)

Gee, my Wife’s purse is the size of a F-150, and she carries TWO of them !I’ve got the Console Vault brand.

A targeted burglary is pretty uncommon, but does happen. You kinda give away what might be in the car when they see gun stickers etc. You wouldn't put a sticker on your car saying "I just withdrew hundreds of dollars from my bank and may have forgotten to bring it in" so why put a gun related sticker on there?
In a burglary, speed is key to getting away. The common tools are flat-bladed screw drivers, and hammers (or rocks), I don't recall ever finding power tools on a car burglar. Your best bet is to:
1- Never leave the gun in the car (can't steal what isn't there).
2- Put it in a hidden lockbox (can't steal what you can't find).
A small lockbox under the seat (not on the floor, but tucked up under the cushions/frame) or up under the dash would be my chosen place to put one. I'd use a simple lock, the security in my eyes is in being hidden and in being generally awkward to attack. Nothing is 100% secure, but like driving safely and wearing your seat belt and having airbags, a few simple things can make big changes in outcomes. I don't need the 5-point, 3" harness, HANS and a roll-cage equivalent of a lock box, I would just want a few layers of security that sequentially improve the odds significantly.

At least you got new guns out of the deal right? I mean, they did replace them and you are whole again?>
”1- Never leave the gun in the car (can't steal what isn't there).”
Of course, but our state & national legisltures have added all sorts of “forbidden places” into our Law(s), which forces us non-LEO Citizens to sometimes have to part from our weapon.
For instance, our Post Office, or the Sheriff’s Office. . . . .
So, we need some devices to limit thieves access.
Family members have had two of my pistols stolen through their negligence, I don’t want a repeat.
