Exactly what I was thinking.
My car has a power drivers seat, so there was not much room to slide a gun vault back and forth without it protruding out or being in the way. I ended up placing a key code gun safe under the rear of the passengers seat, and tethering it to a hard point under the seat. It conceals without standing out, and is accessible from the drivers seat. Of course, unholstering and stowing the gun is a process, so you want to look around and be situationally aware. Also, I only use this option if I am out, and need to temporarily store the gun while I go into a place like the post office, mall, etc. NOT for overnight or long term storage.
It’s only for when I go into the office. Or short term into a place where it’s banned to carry.
As far as situational awareness. I am ( usually I’m only one in the parking lot ) but I pay attention it’s part of my job

I bought this lock box with a cable lock at Harbor Frieght for $20. I just lock my pistol in it & slide it under the seat

My lock box is in the trunk, cabled to the trunk hinge.
In fact I keep everything in the trunk
I was told that if anything is left visible, expect that thieves are going to break a window and go for it.

I’ve got a locked vault built into the center console of the Jeep-not cheap, but pretty solid. Would definitely require vermin to take extra time trying to break in.

That is a similar setup to what I use. I like the setup, because I can stow and retrieve my handgun discreetly from the drivers seat. To be clear, I don’t keep my gun in this case overnight- I only use it to stow my gun when I need to go into a place where I legally cannot bring my gun. Also, I make sure that I tuck both the case and the cable under the passenger seat, so neither can be seen from outside the car.

I use the vaultek lifepod in my car. Unless the thieves have bolt cutters, they aren’t cutting the tether.
