I have two Nanovault's with combination locks. I bought one of them with a latch that was not operating properly at a gun show. A large screwdriver was easily able to override the latch and bend the metal enough to get open within a couple of minutes without doing any permanent damage to the box. I repaired the latch and use to in my vehicle today. The best they will do is slow someone down a little. If you yank on the box hard enough I think you would be able to bend the metal to the point the cable will come out of it and they can take box and all.

In the end, if someone wants something bad enough, they will figure out a way to get it.

Sorry you are having to deal with this. I had TSA open my back and damage some stuff without tagging the bag. TSA blamed airline and vice versa, but pretty sure it was TSA.

Hope they make it right and dig in deep enough to figure out if there was some type of illegal activity going on. At minimum they need to identify who touched your bags and run them through an interrogation.

Now, to add a little levity since it was possibly United people that did it, don't feel like the Lone Ranger as they also break other things
