The subject invention is directed toward the art of safe boxes for storage of money or other valuables to prevent theft of same and, more particularly, to safe boxes of the type mounted in the cab of a vehicle for use by the vehicle operator to deposit money collected from deliveries.
The invention will be described with respect to a certain preferred embodiment; however, as will become apparent, the invention can be embodied in many forms of safe boxes and enclosure structures.
It is known to have safe boxes of the type which can be opened only by the use of a key in the form of a special tool. After boxes of this type have been in use for some time, professional thieves may obtain the special tool required to open the box. It would be desirable to have a safe box which would be extremely difficult and time-consuming to open even by a professional thief having some special tools.
Safe boxes or the like having a plurality of locking devices must be of special construction and the locks normally do not cooperate with one another in such a manner that sequential opening of the locking devices in a certain order is required for gaining access to the safe box. Locks which function completely independently of one another are of little benefit as a way to modify an existing single lock safe box having a lock which can be opened by some professional thieves having a special tool.
