http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/04/hitchsafe.jpg (http://www.acquiremag.com/cars/car-accessories/hitchsafe.php)Some ideas seem so obvious, you wonder why you didn't think of it first. Others seem so off-the-wall ridiculous you're left laughing out loud. We can't quite make up our minds about this one, though.
The Hitchsafe is a small solid-steel lockbox that bolts on to any standard 2" trailer hitch. It has enough room inside to stash a set of keys, maybe some credit cards, cash, a priceless diamond... whatever you need, and it locks with a four-digit combination. The security gives it an obvious advantage over hiding a key in the wheel-well with a magnet, but then it does make for an obvious target, too. While we try to make up our minds on this one, we think we'll keep our keys in our pockets.
