Poundland in the UK are currently selling a "ProDriver Dummy Alarm with Night Sensor" unit to stick on the dashboard to deter criminals - Yes, you guessed it; for a pound. From China, they can obviously be found elsewhere ...

Very nice box, plastic so easy to work with, about 75W x 80D x 23H, moulded in 3 x AAA battery compartment, three way slide switch, two red and two green super-bright LED's plus LDR. If you can live with the printed on logo (*) they're ideal IMO for sticking small PICAXE projects inside.
Four screws under the felt feet open the box. Watch out for the not necessarily as expected colour coding of + and - battery connections.
(*) Some washing up liquid, soft scouring pad and a lot of elbow grease and the logo can be erased. That takes off the dimpled sheen so best to do the entire counter-sunk area. Doesn't look too bad to me when done. YMMV.
