Do people actually put valuable things in their glove boxes? I didn't think people put stuff besides proof of insurance and their car manuals in them. I'd think it a lot more likely that valuables were in the center console storage.

I left my checkbook in the glove compartment for like a month before realizing it. I don't write physical checks often and just forgot it was in there after needing to hide it real quick.

I know multiple people who do. its a quick 'out-of-sight' place to throw something small like a purse or phone.

The glove box has a lock so it must be a good place for valuables!
