All over the country, authorities are reporting a rise in vehicle break-ins, which means it’s even more important to protect belongings that take up permanent residence in trucks and autos. If you insist on storing weapons, identifying documents or anything deemed essential in vehicles, due diligence is required to keep them secured. There are a variety of aftermarket automobile safes available. Some are hidden in trunks and others are disguised to function in plain sight, such as the recently released Model 376-01 Security Console Safe by Tuffy Security Products. Specifically designed for the 2021 Ford F-150 truck, it fits within the standard console without drilling or special tools needed for installation. The 10-tumbler double-bitted lock provides an additional layer of security. As always, check department guidelines before stashing any work-related items in a personal vehicle.
