Question: is there a better way to secure a truck camper shell and tailgate than the standard keyed locks?
Background: I drive a 2013 Toyota Tacoma with an ARE cab height camper shell. We have a false platform we use for sleeping and store our overlanding/camping bins underneath. Think the bins that usually go under beds for storage. Someone broke into my shell last night (at our apartment, residential neighborhood) and grabbed the bins with about $500 of camping equipment (boots, stove, hammocks, battery pack, etc). Because the bins weren't secured, everything was basically boxed up and ready for them to take everything. I'mooking for a better or more convenient way to make sure everything stays locked and out of sight. We have been discussing building modular custom drawers, so now seems like a better time than ever to get started on it.
