There is an insertion port in the movable side wall and a moisture barrier adjacent the insertion port. There is a security barrier adjacent the insertion port. A keypad lock port and a key lock port extends through the movable side wall. A lock member attached to the second surface includes a key actuated locking mechanism on the first surface extending through the key lock port. The key actuated locking mechanism selectively locks the movable side wall to the bottom wall. The lock member may have a keypad actuated locking mechanism, on the first surface, extending through the keypad lock port that locks the movable side wall to the bottom wall.
