The trunk box is more secure than it looks. Mine is a bit loose on the mounting, so I have a shop rag in between the trunk and the bracket as a kind of shim. Keeps it from rattling, and I suppose keeps someone from trying to rip the whole thing off. Plus, I have a shop rag if I really need it.
If you're concerned about school kids messing with your helmet if you leave it chain locked to the bike, those same kids can mess with your bike, too. Or your car, if you choose to drive a car instead. Or anything that belongs to you that you're not in immediate proximity to. I used to feel this way about my scoot when I first got it, that "someone" was going to "mess with it" or steal it or something.
You gotta let go of that. If they do, they do. That's what insurance is for, and remember that it's just a thing. You'll get more enjoyment out of riding it if you're not always worried about what's going to happen to it.
