Could you share some facts and speculations as to why your bike has not been stolen from your external rack?
I was wondering if a car-top-rack were cabled to the car, and the bike were locked, it might last a few months. Alternatively, a car-top-carrier that totally concealed the bike, with lock. I hate to go the car-top route, because of parking garage, and other low clearance hazards.
Mine is on the back of the car. I run a cable through both wheels, around the frame, and the rack. Of course, with some work, someone could probably remove the rack but I set up a rider on my homeowners insurance and for about $7 a year I don't have to worry too much.
