It’s the time of year to lower the windows, open the sunroof, and if you are lucky enough, put the top down on your convertible to let the wind rip through your hair. Maybe this unleashed freedom takes you on a trip up the Pacific Coast Highway or you take a cruise downtown to the latest festival. Or maybe the only thing on your mind during the first days of summer is heading straight to the beach. Sounds great so far…

Many times windows and convertible tops are kept open once you hit your final destination. You leave the interior of your vehicle open to prying eyes that may initially only be interested in the quick grab of your change jar, but then the perp realizes you failed to take your iPod out of the car jack and your designer sunglasses fit perfectly. The theory of ‘I don’t have anything in my car to steal’ doesn’t always apply, so that’s why you should add a car safe.

A simple, yet effective auto safe can keep your valuables safely stored under the car seat while you frolic on the beach. Dee Zee’s most popular car safe model offers keyed entry to a hard aluminum sleeve to store small items such as jewelry, wallets, phones or your iPod safely under the seat. The thick anti-theft security cable locks around the seat brackets to inhibit removal of the unit from your vehicle.

Safes also work great in homes for smaller valuables or handguns. Dee Zee’s large auto safe features a mounted docking base that lets you transport the secured vault to another location. The added anti-theft security cable can be used around a fixed object when away from the mounting base. This auto safe option also offers a digital keypad for electronic entry or keyed entry. The keypad time-out feature detours perpetrators by locking the panel after multiple key errors.

A car safe adds another level of security to your piece of mind when you leave your valuables behind with your vehicle.
