Use a quick release so you can remove the seat to make the bike look unattractive.
No bolt style seatpost clamp will stop a determined Brooks or fiziks theft.
This is highly recommended if bikes are left unattended the whole day.
A seatpost clamp with a premium saddle is fine for errands and short parkings, but I've had crackheads unbolt my train station bike to steal a crusty saddle on a vintage seatpost rod with a saddle clamp.
