I have a tray rack and dont use any locking mechanism. My region is relatively good for bike thefts compared to elsewhere, my work parking lot is quiet and relatively secure, and I am also at peace with the reality that there is a slight chance someone could steal a bike from me because they suck at life and think its OK to take stuff from others.
Ive been in other towns/regions and have locked my bike in those instances. Simple coated cable wrapped thru wheels, around the frame, and thru the rack. If some dbag happens to be carrying around bolt cutters, i guess its their day to win.
