You could try getting a locking cash box and shove it into the space just behind the glovebox; there's plenty of room back there, which is why several folks on this forum have installed subwoofers in that space.

Just another good reason not to use valet parking.

Ohio valet parking is usually described as car jacking.

You might also investigate putting a thin lockbox behind the driver's seat or under the passenger seat.

Some of the Jeep stuff like this might be worth considering:

I've wondered about putting in a single-DIN Alpine head unit and creating a locking single-din storage area under it.
