   On our old Camry you can prevent the seats from being folded down and   
   you can lock the trunk so the trunk release does not open it. The latch   
   is surrounded by steel. No, it's not high security but it at least is   
   more secure than leaving stuff uncovered.   
      
   On my old Land Cruiser FJ60, which lacked a cargo cover, I built one. It   
   was designed to cover the rear area both with and without the rear seat   
   folded down. It was also strong enough to sleep on top of. I used hollow   
   doors supported by a frame going down to the floor. It was useful for   
   camping to have a storage area under the cover.
