On my 07 ultra the latches themselves don't lock. The lock mechanism is above the right hand latchand hooks into a catch attached to the back of the latch. Both latches will open whether the pak is locked or not.

Don't automatically assume that a thieving creep knows how to work the latches. They are obvious to us, but a "screw driver or chisel specialist" isn't even thinking about opening the latches.

I had a premium latch break so I looked on ebay and found a guy who sells the same ones as harley only a bit cheaper, they were the exact same latches so you can save a few bucks with a simple ebay search, hope that helps you out a little.

This is a link to a seller on E-Bay that has standard latches. Maybe he has premium too. Member "Omaha" has purchased from his and says he's great to deal with.

I don't know where you parked, but I'd go back there, call a COP, and get a police report. Someone tried to break in to that. Then call your insurance company. Not sure how much your deductible is, but it might be worth a claim. Even if you could piece it together and hide the damage, it would just **** me off knowing it was there and I didn't cause it.
