Anyways - living in Boston I often have to valet my truck (extremely unwillingly) and if just giving someone else the keys to my truck isn't enough I have to worry that they will steal something even if only the quarters I have in there.
MY QUESTION IS - Has anyone seen - or does anyone have any ideas on how I can lock my center console - or fabricate something to lock it???
Not just valet's but also when I take it to the stereo shop or the body shop...
Any help will be greatly appreciated - and thanks in advance!

Well, round 1 was kinda a draw... might as well go another time.
Personally, I'm just going to re-run "The Best of Dzervit" for round two.
Ding ding ding... round 2...

The really weird thing about this thread, it has some good ideas, for the poster who started it.
There have been good links posted, good ideas posted, despite being populated by a bunch of smart asse... uh, I mean smart associates.
