Wall mounted post box you can't nick from.

I need to have one of these fitted to my outside wall, as royal mail won't deliver otherwise ( long story, don't ask. ) The ones in B and Q, homebase and on Amazon are similar to one we have at work and it's really easy to stick your hand in the slot to remove the letters.
Does anyone know of a more secure version that isn't going to cost a fortune, as I live in a bit of a dodgy area and want to be sure that no-one can get the post out of the box any other way except with the key.
Thanks
All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

    We had a Brabantia one with a key lock on it. I couldn't get anything out of the top unless the postman hadn't put it in properly in the first place. The slot was pretty thin and the box deep, so unless it was a large letter, you wouldn't have much hope of getting anything out of it.
