The real bill

What a smashed window really costs.

The glass is the cheap part. A smash-and-grab takes less than a minute. Sorting out what it took takes a lot longer.

  • The window.$150 to $450 to replace, plus an afternoon at the glass shop.
  • Everything they grabbed.At replacement prices, like the total you just added up. Not what you paid for it in 2019.
  • The cleanup.Cancel the cards. Replace the license. Change every password the laptop remembered.
  • Hiding it first.Under the seat, in the glove box, under a towel. Thieves check all three. It’s their job.

Your car has steel anchors. We lock a safe to them.

You might not know they’re there. Every passenger vehicle sold in the US since the 2003 model year has them, by federal standard FMVSS 225. A child seat clicks into them. So does a Boosted Safe.

  • Locked to the car.Two steel latches grab the same bars that hold a child seat in a crash. The release is inside the safe.
  • Looks like a booster seat.Nobody breaks a window for a booster seat.
  • Opens in a second.With your finger. A keypad code and a backup key work too.

Why it's a Boosted Safe

Steel. Fingerprint. Anchors.

What goes in

A 16-inch laptop. Your wallet. A small purse. Locked.

Everything lies flat in foam you cut to fit. The inside is 15.1 × 13.6 × 4.25 inches: a clutch or small purse fits, a big tote doesn’t. Every Elite also comes with a Faraday bag that fits a 16-inch laptop, an iPad or a phone.

What owners keep in theirs.

Not convinced? Watch us take a sledgehammer to it.

Sledgehammer first. Then everything else the internet suggested.

Every tool below came from a real comment on our ads, typed with total confidence from somewhere very comfortable. We tried all of them on camera.

Go ahead. Pick your tool.

Want us to try something else?

Submit a challenge. If it’s good, it goes on camera, and we’ll send you the footage of it not working.

Straight answers.

What fits inside?

The inside is 15.1 × 13.6 × 4.25 inches. A 16-inch laptop fits, and so do a wallet, phone, passports, cash, a tablet and a small purse or clutch. A big tote bag doesn’t. Every Elite comes with a Faraday bag that fits a 16-inch laptop, an iPad or a phone.

Is a car safe worth the money?

Scroll back up to the total you added. The Elite is a fraction of it, you pay once, and it moves to your next car with you. You can also split it into 4 interest-free payments.

Can’t a thief just take the whole safe?

It is latched to steel anchors welded to the car’s body, and the release is inside the safe. To take it out, someone has to open it first. With enough time and enough tools nothing is secure. Our job is to make a smash-and-grab need far more of both than a thief brings to a parking lot.

Won’t a thief still break my window?

Maybe. A safe doesn’t stop a rock. What it does is turn a sixty-second payday into a broken window and nothing to show for it.

What if someone does break into it?

Then we replace it, free. That’s the break-in guarantee. Power tools and a lot of time beat every safe ever made, which is why we cover it instead of pretending.

Will it fit my car?

US passenger vehicles from model year 2003 have lower anchors in the back seat (LATCH in the US, ISOFIX everywhere else). Heavy-duty pickups over 8,500 lb and regular cabs may not: check yours in a minute. The safe clips to the anchors in under a minute, no tools. For an older vehicle, or a spot without anchors, the Universal Anchor Adapter (coming soon) adds the same latch points.

Do I need tools or have to drill anything?

No tools, no drilling. It clicks into the same anchors a child seat uses, in under 60 seconds. It moves to your next car the same way: yours, your partner’s, a rental.

Can I keep a gun in it?

Yes, unloaded. Check your state’s rules for a gun left in a car. If a firearm is the main thing going in, look at the Golden Gate Elite: 12-gauge steel, and the only Boosted Safe that’s California DOJ certified for firearms.

Is it fireproof or waterproof?

No, and we won’t pretend. It’s a theft safe. Don’t leave batteries or anything heat-sensitive in a closed car in August, safe or no safe.

Is there a deal if I buy more than one?

Yes. Buy one, get one half off: buy 2 to 9 safes and every one is 25% off; buy 10 or more and every one is 30% off. All six safes count together, mixed or matched: Elite, Basic, Mini Elite, Mini Basic, Golden Gate Elite and Golden Gate Basic. One for your car and one for your partner’s both count. Refurbished safes don’t count, and the deal doesn’t stack with other codes.

What if I don’t like it?

Put it in your car and live with it. If it isn’t for you, send it back inside 30 days for a refund. Defects are covered for as long as you own it.

You did the math. Now lock it up.

The Boosted Safe Elite. Steel, opens with your finger, clicks into your back seat in under a minute and looks like a booster seat. In stock, ships in one business day. Two cars? Buy two safes and both are 25% off.
