When I lived in Chicago and used a Carradice I would pair it with a Pletscher rear rack with a mousetrap. When I parked the bike I would open the mousetrap over the bag and then use a little padlock to lock a loop on the bag to the mousetrap. It was an easy lockup trick and nobody every messed with it.
