Default RE: Saddle bag locks

I have locks on my hardbags and never use them. I would rather have the thief open the bag without the use of a pry tool, that way the bag isn't destroyed. I dont keep anything of serious value in my bags anyway.

Stinkin thieves only get to be more interested when something is locked it seems. It's like the "User Discrection Advised" rating on movies and stuff. Makes people wanna watch more.
Probably make's them think that there must be something of value in there if it is locked.
Me I lock my hard bags just to keep them shut. It would suck to find that some punk crowbarred them open just to find a rain suit and spare skid lid.

Here is a site with some of the cheapest hard bags found anywhere I think. Maybe hard bags would be a cheaper way to go
