What I do know is that most bike theft in my area is done by males, mostly younger. A guy on a bike with crochet anything on it is going to stick out like a sore thumb. I consider it, my rainbow stickers and slightly rude bumper sticker mentioning dicks (under the rear rack, mostly to protect the paint) as theft deterrent. Why would they take this bike, that is embarrassing kitted out, over a bike that is not? That plus two locks allow me to leave her outside along while I shop.
I don't know so much in my city! We've got scraper bikes*.

I think I'd feel if I added the crochet to my step-thru bike, with a basket while wearing a dress. That's just too cliche!

*Thought it would be good to note the Trunk Bois are very active in our local Bike Coalition too. Scrapers (the cars) were tricked out cars in local slang...
