seeking lock box wisdom

Looking to buy a tool box for my 94 toyota pickup bed. I've never bought one before, and I'm wondering if anyone out there has a strong opinion on them. I am particularly interested in the security of the locking system. Anyone have a box they feel comfortable leaving alone for a couple days with valuable stuff inside?

Wasn't sure what forum this should go in, but there it is.

I bought this one from home depot. It is a lot like a Knack. I am in the process of integrating it into a flatbed I am building. In addition to the 2 locking mechanisms on the box I am welding on bolts on the back to further secure it from being taken off the flatbed. By the time any dirtbag got through the locks I would either be returning from where ever or I would hear it from inside my house. If any dirtbag managed to remove the box from the flatbed.. well, I would say, dude the box and everything in it is all yours! Hell, take the truck too. Nice work!!!
I don't know if that helps but... anyway...

That sounds and looks like a tough box! My deal is that I carry tons of outdoor gear around, and because a) my "extra" cab is full, and b) I can get into my cab via 4 or 5 methods in under 5 minutes without my key (which is about as finely crafted as a tin butter knife, anyway), I need a good place to keep stuff when I decide to leave the truck in the woods and take off on foot for a coupla days. When I'm in the city once a week for a couple days, the truck usually ends up parked in an area that..well, there's a lot of desparate people, and a lot of drunk people.

BTW, I looked at your build thread and Hubba, Hubba is that a beautiful rig! That's a real inspiration. Love the canvas canopy and cab rack, as well.
