I did the same thing last week, $7 and 10 minutes later my bags were secure.

I ordered these from an Ebay seller. Kit arrived quickly and I installed them in about 10-15 minutes. They are a quality product.
If anything, I know my bags aren't falling off on their own! If someone wants them bad enough, they will probably win. It just will be harder.

True, I have the Brukus bolts and they're snug but know this...the tabs on the back of the bags can be depressed with a flat head screw driver by first pressing the lid (compresses the rubber seal on the lid). Once the lid is pressed down, a simple wiggle and presto, the lid comes off the inside even though the outside is locked.

Thief could easily reach in and take what they want and/or use the star tool to remove the bolts that I thought were pretty rare until I saw the same patterned bolts on the urinal partitions at work. Oh well.

Working on a way to install a lock on the inside of lip of the lid to prevent this sort of thing. Working it.

BS and baloney. They want 'em they will get 'em. Wake up Charlie. If they can't get 'em they will destroy them in the process or destroy them because you pissed them off. Just a different style mousetrap. Clevis pins work just fine and make it just as difficult as "Brukus" or whomever. This is just dumb. No, I don't want my stuff stolen either but.......I mean c'mon already.
