That happened to me once! My bike was locked up outside my apartment. It was a flea-market Schwinn Suburban, with a Pletscher rack. Hardly bling, but someone stole the rack anyway. I wish I could figure out some way to secure my rack to my bike. Mabe I can find some kind of anti-theft screws somewhere. Or someone once suggested to me that once the rack is installed, take a pliers and completely mangle the screw threads that protrude through the frame eyelet and the nut, and that way the rack can't be removed without cutting off the nug. Makes sense -- maybe I'll try it.
