What a fantasy scenario. In what world can someone force their way into to your locked car but can't force their way into the glove box?

Most glove boxes don't have large panes of glass? The sound of a broken window to get in will also motivate a thief to not stick around messing with a glovebox very long. Maybe leave something worth running off with in the center console as a deflection.

This is a seriously marginal bizarre contriviance of a scenario to piss off people daily who use the glove box.

For your benefit, you'd need to have a thief that somehow can break class (which is suprisingly hard to do if you ever tried it) and then can't defeat a simple latch on a glovebox where they now for sure valuables lie?

Get out of here.

You seem unaware that a car's glovebox door is made out of plastic and usually has just a single "hook" style latch?

Thief's who break windows to get into cars carry tools.. your glovebox is NOT secure.

Lastly, you seem unaware that most car thief's don't break the windows because this often leads to their capture.
