Agree! I want to put a crate on my bike but got burned the first time. Someone broke it while attempting to steal it.
Now I have a wicker basket. Which is a bit girlier than I would like. Still on a mission for an attractive non-woven basket I can throw my phone/keys and other small items in without worry.
