The other one I "lost" might have been stolen...but this time i know for certain i had it on and even saw it when i stopped one time
That's really odd. I use the dual on my fatbike because of the huge fatbike tube. It really gets banged around but I have no issues.
The reason I asked about the mounting is that so often I see (maybe 30% of the time), seat packs mounted incorrectly. People run the strap over both seat rails instead of running one side of the strap over one seat rail with the point where it's stitched to the bag directly between the rails.
If the velcro is insufficient, you can always add an element of "old school" and secure it with a toe clip strap. That will *never* let go. In point of fact, if you are losing that many packs maybe that would be a good idea anyhow.
