When I bought my 2015 1LE, there was a white box in the trunk.

It was a catch can.

If you get access to the cabin of the vehicle, all you have to do is fold down the seats.
If you don't have access to the cabin, you don't have access to the trunk...

A briefcase that glows orange when you open it.

Just an FYI, if your battery ever dies (like mine did earlier this week), having those backseat-lowering straps relocated to the trunk could make your life hard.

When the Camaro loses power, your key will work to open the driver's door, but depending on how flat the battery is, you may or may not be able to open the trunk. With the seat straps in the cabin, it's possible to flop down the back seat, crawl through and pull the trunk release handle to get to the battery. Without those straps, your only hope is to jump the car from the engine compartment. God help you if you're not parked conveniently for a jump.

Just something to consider before you make your trunk too "secure".

Back in the day if you had a couple of subs/amps installed in your trunk. People would hear your stuff and take notice.
