In the days of toestraps this was one of the 101 uses for a spare
toestrap.

I have a quick release pin on the tube end where the seat post goes and
just take the post and Brooks saddle with me - to the pool changing
room, shops, work, etc. I learned my lesson after having my first Brooks
stolen from the bike which I'd parked in Poland Street car park, in
Soho.

If I have to leave the bike outside and it's raining, I have an old
folded up plastic bag which I fasten over the tube end with an elastic
band.

The Brooks saddle cover mentioned elsewhere in this thread is rather a
giveaway, and eminently nickable, even if you don't have a Brooks saddle
under it.
