Look around for a small handgun safe. Most of them are just about the
perfect size for under the rear seat and are designed to be bolted
down. I have a GV1000 Multivault somewhere I've been meaning to dig
out and put in place of the rear heater case, now that I've removed
the hoses to it and don't need it. I figure it'll fit that former
heater vent hole nicely, and since it opens at the end I'd be able to
access it without lifting the seat.
