On the past 4 utes I have had with tool boxes, I have bolted them down using four 12mm stainless steel bolts with Nylex nuts on them, but on two bolts I drilled a hole threw near the end and inserted a small pad lock. Have had thousands in tools in them and never lost a thing.

Unfortunately if someone wants it or what is in it enough you will lose it.

mate i got 1 on my ute. I put 4 round head bolts threw bottom tool box. They are the 1's with round head and no screw driver bits on end, they are square near the round head. I put the round heads on under side of tray, but u gotta cut a square hole th right size 4 bolts. That way if they wanna steal the box they need 2 get into the box to undo the bolts. here's mine.
