i like the irony of that.

a cheap disposable plastic grocery bag (and it weights next to nothing!) easily destroyed by a small child, serving as an effective and economical anti-theft device capable of thwarting the most determined malicious and maloderous bicycle thief.

genius, sheer genius...

i usually just have my girlfriend sit on the bike when i go into the store. and as you say, "Makes the bike look cheap even if the frame and components are great!"
