The securing cable which may be installed into the QL2 mounting rail means that the bags may be left on the bike without fear of casual theft. Cable as well as U-locks can be fed through the wire loop. These mechanisms may be used to lock the ORTLIEB bags, the bike helmet or the saddle against theft simultaneously. The anti-theft device is available in two sizes, thus fitting not only bags with the long QL2 rail (Bike-Tourer, Back-Roller, Bike-Packer, Office-Bag, Bike-Shopper, Motorcycle side bag), but also bags with the short QL2 rail (Tour-Box, Sport-Packer, Front-Roller) as security against theft. One Package secures one pair of panniers.
