Same for keeping a gun in your trunk. Why bother? Why risk it getting stolen?
1. Carry a loaded gun on your person.
If you are not able to carry on your person
2. In the house, use a quick access lock box. Like this... (not a recommendation for a product, just an example)

3. In the car, there are many solutions.... easiest is the center console (Use a HOLSTER!). Myriad other choices.
I use a cable and lock box if I ever need to store my gun in the car.

That lock box will definitley stop the casual or opportunistic thief, unless they are carrying a hacksaw and a ball peen hammer. Don't ask how I know...
