I was recently in Victoria, British Columbia and noticed that the bike cops had some equipment I'd never seen before. Instead or regular rack trunks, they had metal or some other rigid material rack trunks that locked. They also appeared to be attached in a way that would prevent them from being easily removed while locked. I made a note of the manufacturer in my head and then promptly forgot it.
These trunks might be useful to have in urban environemnts. I've homebrewed similar systems in the past but these looked a lot nicer . I've looked around on the web and the closest thing I've found is this, but it appears to be for motorcycles: jcwhitney.comproductnoitem.jhtmlOpen ↗ Anybody know who might make these lockable rack trunks?

I suspect you were looking at a fibreglass or carbon fibre tailbox. Tailboxes are common in the recumbent world. Search around on those terms.
