have you thought about a hitch rack? that can't be taken easily from your car, and you can then lock the bikes to the hitch rack. as far as regular trunk racks go, i don't think there is a way to secure them to the car, unless you weld or rivet or otherwise permanently make the rack part of the trunk.
I have thought about it, but I'm balking at the expense. I'm seriously moving towards the idea of a car-free lifestyle (okay, car free suplemented by CityWheels to pick up my son from his mother's once a week) and don't want to spend $150 to put a hitch on the car that I might sell. On top of that, my rack spends almost as much time on my girlfriend's toyota echo as it does on my own car... did spend. damn that sucks... anyway, I definitely don't want to pay to also put a hitch on hers... or on the CityWheels car... I've been thinking about this for awhile and I'm seriously disappointed that there are so few choices in carriers.
Also, I'm glad I got them back too! thanks!
