What do you do with Ammo Boxes?

I bought a black ABS Plastic Ammo box. This sucker is heavy. Lid opens on both ends. Rubber o-ring seal around both lids. SHould be water tight. Heavy little sucker. Should be water proof. Heck, as far as I know, this is standard for ammo boxes any more.
In any case, it looked nice and durable. Know, what do I do with it?
Stock it as a mini SHTF kit?
It is a good box is I traveled with eletonic gear, but I don't.
Thought about it as a toolbox to leave in the truck, but the size and opening is awkward. I already use a black John Deere toolbox off a 4430. Those are nice heavy and compact tool boxes.
Any suggestions.

Uhhhh, store ammo in them?
use it for geocaching.
Gander Mt. Joliet Illinois had them. I paid way too much $19.95, but when I first saw it, I said "Nice box."
6 Hold bullets
3 hold brass
1 has the family first aid kit in it
May be a good fit in my new closet. I need a storage system for floor storage of ammo. Been using plastic storage containers. Regular ammo boxes are too small. Takes too many to cover floor space. These may fill the vertical space better.
i keep AMMO in them, when empty i refill them
Paid too much $19.95.
These were made in St. Louis.
I have two 5.56 ammo boxes bolted to the rack on my three wheeler. They hold my tool kit, hitch draw bars, a tow strap, random spare parts, and duct tape.
Thats a good idea.
I'm envisioning a postal or courthouse worker in D.C. toting his lunch to work in a 50 cal ammo box. LOL Here comes the SWAT team. LOL
I store my important papers in mine instead of a file cabinet. it's transportable and goes in whatever storage area I want to put it in. I got an older metal one for 30mm ammo, that plastic one looks more robust but they didn't have those back when I got mine.
Mrs. Plaid saw your suggestion and liked it.
Dang it. No more box for me.
It now holds wills, birth certs, SS cards, uncut diamonds and a gold bar. Yeah, I suppose it is a good idea.
