I like this idea of lockable table. How do?

Theres secret compartments just under your driver+passenger seat. You can use a sawz-all and cut out the blocking sheetmetal just behind your calves/feet erea. Build a stealth latch door with carpet covering it and you have a perfect place to hide a laptop. Too bad I dont own a laptop. Or you can access this area from your battery bay but your battery is bocking the way. I think the compartment is like 3" tall.
