Strongbox (4)

I believe the answer is:

safe

'strongbox' is the definition.
(I know that safe is a type of strongbox)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for safe that I've seen before include "Secure and protected" , "Place for keeping valuables" , "Secure and free from danger" , "Free from harm" , "Secure - place to keep cash" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times, the Evening Standard, the Penny Press, The Mirror and The Star Tribune.
