Anyone seen these? Looks like a better way to hide a small stash (keys, emergency money) then a Hide-A-Key which I never trusted. Downside is they cost around $90!

Pricey, but I like the idea of it. |

i agree with mikeD106, $90 bucks is too much. it looks basically like a standard combination lock in a receiver type plug,, but if it was $40 or so,, i would definately get one,, you never know when your gonna need a spare key.. locksmith to the middle of nowhere = paid for itself the first time.. |

seems like an awsome idea, but yeah, $90 is WAY too much. |

That's what I was thinking - $40 is about right for what I'd pay. However, now that I know about it, no reason to not stick a spare key inside my reciever. I'm sure I could figure out a way to secure it. Maybe in between the receiver and the drawer bar. |

That actually seems like a good idea. I wonder if a couple of heavy duty zip-ties would do the trick. Keeps it kind of inconspicuous (sp?) but still accessible without too much work. |

Oh yeah... AND it's a LOT cheaper! |

I was thinking of black or duct tape to the outside of the drawer bar and then sliding it into the receiver so it was sandwiched between the two. |

Yea, that would probably be easier to do also. |

How many nuts to take off the reciever???? 
Nice, not secure enough. Zip tie the keys, put cash under the carpet. You can also bolt a small lock box underneath. Plus, The 245/70 will rub

I agree, taping a key to the back of the hitch, inserting it into the receiver, and using the locking hitch pin I already have would be just as secure. I put locking lugs on my wheels; makes me wonder how many people go around stealing hitch receivers.... |
