use one of the bungy cords with the hooks at both ends. just wrap it around once and hook the hooks together maybe!

Any photo of the box only.

You could drill holes on each side of the box and lid and whip it with plastic ties

Same thing happened 2 mine, but as i have had mine 2 long, many good memories, hard 2 bin it.. Drilled a hole the size of a bungy cord hook in the top of the lid that usually wend down under the clasp that held the box closed, then just wrapped one end 2 the Breakaway back rest, underneath the box and in thru the hole, works a treat 8)

Velcro tape - nice and simple if a tad noisy

secure a magnet onto the front, make a little hinge on the top of the box and glue a few coppers onto the hinge. Sorted :D
