Headrest Safe for Secure Transportation

If anyone else is interested, I just bought one of these and they have a 4th of July sale. The safe I ordered was originally $499 but it was marked down to $375 for the sale.
As all of you know, there have been many troubling stories lately of coin dealers being targeted for robbery and theft. This headrest safe is big enough to accommodate a few slabs, and I'll likely keep my "friend" in there too. Can't ever be too safe, and though it's expensive I could use some write-offs this year.

Yes, at first I had inadvertently posted the link to my checkout that showed my personal details.

That’s a pretty cool idea.
I and many other friends use center console vaults and no one I know has had an issue that I know about.
I don’t think I’d use it for a firearm. If you’re seated and need it you have to make a very long awkward movement and possibly square your body away from the threat. If you have a passenger you will laser them or anyone else out your passenger window. Just something to think about.
It’s a cool place to put a few coins for sure.

Do you have a recommendation for a center console vault? That was what I was initially looking for but when I stumbled upon the headrest safe I couldn’t resist.
I agree with you, I think the headrest safe is perfect for valuables because who is going to look there if they smash out your windows?
My little friend is better suited for a center console vault, but I’d like to find one that’s vehicle specific so it fits perfectly.

Better to be safe than sorry. There are many good people but also monsters that can be extremely evil.
If I carried that much to coin shows it would be in a surplus1992 Crown Vic Police Interceptor that looks the same as it did five minutes after they scraped the decals off before the auction. Make it more comfortable and faster with reinforced storage (accessible from the inside) fixed to the frame. Business vehicle. Nice vehicles attract too much attention.
Options: Full ashtray, airbrushed disposable diapers all around, dress to match.
I don’t carry a lot, but no one sees me.
Mikee?

Consolevault.com and lockerdown.com are a good place to start.
Most are very similar and bolt into the factory spaces for the original console so it has to be opened to get it out.

I think it’s cool and provides utility, but could someone remove the whole dang headset and beat feet? If you do use one I’d make sure you don’t access it in plain sight.
Please be cognizant that a lot of these rip and run crews are somewhat sophisticated and do often perform a modest level of pre-hit surveillance. It’s ultimately up to you to perform constant counter surveillance and implement threat detection techniques. This can be as simple as not going directly home and making a loop or two through a local parking lot, or even your own neighborhood block. If that car(s) is still trailing you, be prepared to put in a little work or better yet, continue to a local PD station. Trust your gut.
About 20 years ago I had the winning hand in a poker bad beat that was at $99, 990. That meant about $30k to me. I asked for $10k in cash and a check for the difference, as well as for an armed plainclothes guard to the truck. I tipped him $100 and my dealer $2k. (God Bless the Seminole Tribe!).
In the glove box was the Beretta, which the wife handed me to put on my lap. Driving home I took an entirely different but familiar route that included two mostly empty parking lot circles and then two trips around the block. Once I was 99% the coast was clear it was right into the house - condition 0. Even then it was 15 minutes of actively watching the windows. TV off, quiet, head on a swivel.
Having fun while switching things up and focusing on a next level PCGS slabbed 1950+ type set, while still looking for great examples for the 7070.
There is a lock in the posts of the headrest. The whole thing is aftermarket.

That is funny. (But he would not utter that.)
I getcha, but it looks like the only thing stopping removal is one, (maybe 2-?) spring toggle. Doesn’t seem very strong. Either way a cordless cut off tool or grinder would make quick work of the posts even if they’re some hardcore forged steel. I’d stick with a bolt down safe of some sort, ideally in the trunk. Of course, to each their own!

Mounting it on the passenger side and opening it from the driver seat works better.
I think the manufacturer is banking on them 1. not checking there 2. Not having the right tool if they found it. 99% of car break ins are quick. Break a window or open an unlocked door and search the ash tray, console or glove box.
I think @DeplorableDan is talking about using these for transit to and from shows and I think it’s very useful for that. There’s been a few times I’ve had to stop to get gas/use the rest room 5 hours down the road from a show and leave a PCGS box buried in my suitcase. I’d much rather have them in the head rest safe.

If you fill it with silver dollars and have a serious head-on collision, your headrest turns into a Claymore mine.

That's a pretty cool idea. I doubt most thieves would think to check a headrest.
So, exactly what kind of car do you drive @DeplorableDan ?
I sent you a pic in pms but going to keep that information classified publicly lol.

cool, will you have an air pod in the safe just in case they steal the vehicle?
I wonder how many PCGS slabs will fit?
I've had the honor of sitting shotgun in. @DeplorableDan 's ride and it's an unusual experience, to say the least!
Don’t forget the Claymore in front.
