I leave an Acorn seat bag permanently attached to a Brooks special, and never have a worry. Where I live, in the 'burbs, I have the feeling that anything remotely Rivendellian looks old, and not-valuable. Right down to the lugs on my Sam. And I'm OK with that.
I would agree, through, that the weirder the bag (up to and including the Sackville Saddlesack, the weirdest of all!) the less likely it is to be molested.
