I dont use them all the time but sometimes like at a restaurant or when running errands to public buildings and such, I just lock them up. If its cool out, I dont mind wearing the jacket inside for a few minutes but when its hot and I just rode thru town, sitting at stop lights...... I just want the thing off. I figure most people who steal something like that would just do it cause they could..... this just makes it so those people need a tool in their pocket to do so.... lol. So, Just for my peace of mind.... so I dont feel like I have to keep my eye on it while trying eat or use the restroom in a restaurant...... I have these under the seat for when I need them......
