I've seen some cheap cars have no light in glove compartment, but it's the first time seen a glove compartment has no lock! Cost cutting is too much overdone here!also no lock

I've never known anyone to actually use the lock on the glove compartment. I'd be willing to bet that few people actually miss having a lock.
I was going to say! I think the last time I locked a glove box was as a small child playing with the lock on my parents 1968 AMC Rambler station wagon.
I keep my registration and insurance card in the glove box, so I wish I could lock it like every other car Ive ever had...even a Jeep Wrangler.
It's the new hot thing for car theft rings... insurance cards

Our 2015 CRV EX has a locking glove box, but no light.
Once in your car, whats to stop a thief from breaking the lock (another out of pocket expense to you) and stealing its contents?

That's why I found it odd our CRV has a glove box lock, as it has a keyless ignition like our CX5. I guess you'd have to slide the emergency key out of the FOB to lock/unlock it.

Even our 1998 Honda CR-V EX has locking glove compartment! What year is yours?
At least the passenger map light on our CR-V aimed at glove compartment You can see stuff in the night by turning the map light on.

It's still depends. Those thieves can get into any car if they want to! We once had a break-in to our CR-V on our driveway in the night. The guy took everything valuable which are easy to access, but left locked glove compartment, Sony stereo head-unit, alone! May be our old faithful Brownie started barking from the backyard scared the thief away!
