I use metal fabricated bear boxes and that in its self is no guarantee that someone won't try to take them. But with two Pex - star drive 3" screws used to anchor the box to the tree and does that very very well and then a high grade paddle lock its all I can do.

I really thought about doing this but I hunt on a military base and they do not allow you to screw or drill anything into the tree. I also looked up the tele receiver ones but to the tune of 250 bucks or so. I just did my drive by and all looks good.
However, I just talked to a buddy that does welding and we are going to try to build on the bear box and make a bracket using 1/2'' steel rod to go around the tree then connect to the box from the inside. If and when we get it built I'll post
