Default Anyone know what this is?

Bought my C5 (2001 auto, vert) last week and found this in the trunk. I had a key on my keychain I did not know what it went to (did not fit the glovebox) but it fits this thing. Its got a big hinge and opens up. Is it like a shift **** lock or something?

That would be fun. Pulling my popup camper with my Vette haha.

I am not sure "double H" is the same as "H&H Manufacturing"

You put a dime in it and when you've spent your "last dime" on the car, well, you have one more...

Pretty sure it’s a shift **** lock. See if it fits over the shift **** then you’ll know.

Ding ding ding! We have a winner! The inside of it should have been my first clue. I feel silly now. But hey, looks like I wasn't the only one stumped at one point.
