Roger that!

Since my son uses my car on occasion to go to school functions, I put the knives, first aid meds, and other things that could cause him grief with some idiot school admin in a locked Pelican case. A key stashed in the glove box and another in an out of sight place.

I told him if they ever search the car, not to open the case. If they insist then to refuse and call me and not to tell them about any keys. Just say, "It's my Dad's, you want to see inside, call him."

The case is also secured inside with a bicycle cable so they can't remove it from the car without the key.

It a shame to have to go to such lengths to prevent your child from being victimized by school officials.
