How to secure box in pickup truck bed?

I just bought a large box to put in the back of my pickup truck. I am able to lock it but it came with nothing to secure it in the truck bed. There is really nothing to keep someone from pulling it out of the truck if they wanted. Is there anyway to secure the box in the bed of the truck??

Update:

It is a rectangle box that fits along the back of the cab. Just got it from walmart. I would say its about 3ft by 1.5ft. Its pretty hefty but I have a trust absolutely no one attitude. I just don't know if there is some way I can secure it but also be able to remove it when I need too.

    The type of box would be helpful. Is it a toolbox that fits across the bed? Is it a small box that can be toted by one person? Square? Rectangle?

    Drilling and bolting in pace would be the best way to secure it. Use Carriage bolts up through the bed floor into the box with the nuts inside the box. Then someone with a wrench can't just unbolt it from underneath.

    If you like drill through the box and truck bed and bolt it in. I have had one in my truck for 8 years no bolts and it is still here.
