Default Security Lock Box Question

I'm curious if anyone knows if a security lock box is made for 2002 TransAm verts. I'm thinking about the lock boxes they have as the center box in a Jeep, except for the TA. It doesn't necessarily need to be a center console, but maybe can be bolted under a seat? Or maybe is an insert into our current center console box that can be bolted underneath? Or something in the trunk? Basically, I want to leave the top down and throw my camera or garage door controller in the lock box, and go in to the fast food place without worrying about things getting stolen. If anyone knows of anything out there, would you let me know?
Thanks

Why not just use the trunk? Doesn't arming the alarm disable the dash trunk release button?

From what I've seen, locks or visible valuables in 'verts invites crowbars and knives. In the trunk, out of sight / out of mind.

I've never heard of the alarm disabling the trunk release. I'll have to give it a try. Either way, I'd still like some type of box (even if I mounted in the trunk) to secure items in. Like I said, I've seen them in Jeeps, so that's what gave me the idea.

If not the trunk, the glovebox is a decent place to put valuables and it locks.
