Abstract: An insert for a vehicle console is provided. The insert includes a frame having first and second opposing retention flanges, each first retention flange being hingedly supported from the frame, such that each retention flange is capable of rotating away from the frame. A support strut is also provided for restraining the retention flanges from pivoting away from a position extending beyond the access opening of said vehicle console. Removal of a lockable lid connected with the frame becomes almost impossible without total destruction of the vehicle console.
