Simple / cheap / discreet
Just added a twist hasp lock to the seat box. Seems to work okay, quite aware it won't doo too much but better than nothing and relatively cheap.

I don't need to be going either box all the time so it's a passive extra layer job.

Done both sides, works really well so not a bad security mod for £5 and a bit of time but you have to be realistic if somebody has brought the tools to screwdriver the ignition that little lock isn't going to fox 'em Mad

I need to come up with a bit of steel that secures the the opposite side to the lock down, currently you really wanted access you could bend the front corner up rather than slide out although putting the seat back with it bent up wouldn't be easy.

Forgive me going off topic a bit but didn't Series Land Rovers have a type of hasp catch that could have a padlock fitted?

Not sure on your answer but the current Puma does and there is one in the picture above too! It's the clamp / hasp that holds the plate in place and has a hole on it if you look closely for a small lock once shut. Not ultra secure no but a PITA to come across to a potential thief. $W33T $0U7H3RN $UG4R

Yep I know what you mean, I have the same on my Td5. The things I was thinking of are a little more robust and consist of a hinged flap of steel on the removable cover that drops down to the front of the seat box, where the existing clip is found. On the flap there is a "keyhole" cut-out that a P shaped turnbuckle passes through that has to be turned uppermost. When it's closed the P turnbuckle drops down making a secure lock. The P clip has a hole in it that a padlock can pass through.

Another good thing to do is relocate your alarm horn and move OBDII connector to inside your locked under seat box.
