A container, such as a toolbox, is disclosed with a reversible accessory holder. When the accessory holder is inserted into the container in a first position, the theft of the contents of the holder is prevented because the contents cannot be accessed from the exterior of the container nor can the holder be removed. When the accessory holder is inserted into the container in a second position, its contents can be conveniently accessed from the outside of the container by opening the accessory holder door without opening the entire container. A method of deterring the theft of items displayed in a container, while allowing access to those items from the outside of the container after purchase is also disclosed. The method includes inserting a reversible, transparent accessory holder into an aperture within a container, with the door of the holder facing the interior of the container, and then reversing the orientation of the holder to allow external access after purchase.
