A hand gun, out of site, in a secure lock box, in a "nothing special" vehicle is not likely to draw such attention.
How much attention does it need to draw?

Then they'll break into your car for your supposed dope stash. With thieves, heads they win, tails you lose.To reduce the chance of firearm thieves targeting your vehicle put one of the hollowing bumper stickers on your ride: "Ban Assault Weapons", "I support Bernie"," Soccer Mom", "Green Peace" or something similar. I call it Urban Camouflage.
For a long while, unscrupulous scrap dealers would more or less accept any lie told to them by people bring "scrap" to them such as brand new materials which is why some states require id to sell the stuff to the salvage dealer and that checks be issued and mailed to a provided address rather than paying cash. Somewhat similar for shady pawn dealers and as a result, transaction paperwork has increased for them as well. Proving that someone knowing bought stolen merchandise allowed these folks to stay in business rather than be in prison.

Pawn shops and scrap yards are still like this. I have personally retrieved a bow and an xbox from 2 separate pawn shops. The bow was easy because it had a serial and we had pics, they handed it over no problem. They were probably out $20 bucks and didnt want police involved.
The xbox happened when me and buddy were in High School about 2 hours after the theft. The owner wouldnt give it back despite having him eject the game inside and it being the game we knew was in there. Luckily my buddy’s uncle was a cop and a call to a white shirt later we had the xbox back.
To keep this on topic, record your serial numbers!!!
