Title: Bear box recommendations
Post by: Hilltop123 on December 14, 2016, 11:42:01 AM: I need to put a camera on my driveway, but I need a bear box that is tweeker proof. Well as thief proof as possible. Did a quick look on Cabelas the ones I seen, were not impressive. Lock hanging out there in the wide open, just crying out to be cut. Thanks in advance, Hilltop

These are decent boxes. They can be improved by welding the seams.

stopped at red lights. Still, if you hang a camera at eye level, it's likely to get jacked.
If you put it up high, it's less likely to get shot.

If your referring to the Hilltop in Tacoma, wrong Hilltop.
