Can the basket be removed easily by anyone? Like by a thief?

Yes, but it's not blatantly obvious that the basket is removable to passers by. I never take mine off and it's lasted just fine.

Yes... It just detaches from the hardware attached to the handlebars. Just use one of the bike cable locks if you are concerned.Butch

Yes very easily. But I don't know what a thief would do with it without the mounting bracket which is much more time consuming to remove.

Yes the basket can be easily removed. The bracket is not an easy target. I put a couple of zip ties to make it a little less attractive to someone that might try on the spur of the moment.

I think it would fall off when it opens. Plus it would also be easy for someone to steal.

You can pull the baskets all the way out and rearrange them to a different slot. I don't think the numbers can be removed very easily from the basket though. Hope this helps!

Lift the handle up and lift out handle and basket are one piece. Hope this helps

I just left the handle on in the down position. Don't really need it up to get the basket out.

Using the installation hardware and directions supplied, it could be removed by two people in about ten minutes. There is no locking mechanism, although something more secure could be devised by a clever, mechanically-inclined person. We have not had a problem with it, and have loaned it to several relatives for trips.

This isn't a basket that is meant to be removed at will. It attaches to the rack via brackets and bolts that would take time. It can be removed but not casually (I have a bicycle basket that comes off with the press of a release button). This is not like that.

Yes, it can be removed easily. I remove it after every use for easier storage.

It is only secured by the straps so a potential thief could just cut the straps and go. I can't think of a way to stop that from happening. It is easy to remove the rack so you can just take it off when you reach your destination.

The basket will fold with walker but is very easy to remove. I usually removed it first because the walker then folded flat.The basket was so worth the expense.

The basket is easily removable. We almost never use ours, with the basket in, as we drink mostly coffee from it.

Can't really say, since I haven't needed to take it off since I put in on. Nice basket, though, and I even had someone else tell me he liked it.

Yes, it will come off. Mine came off once when I had the basket full of beans, and spilled beans all over the sink and floor. I wasn't happy about that, but the handle went right back on again. If you don't fill the basket it's kind of secure. They could've done better on that.

There are two tabs on the bottom of the basket. These tabs are used to attach the struts that attach to the front wheel to support the basket. The tabs can be removed. It will take some effort to remove them. Good luck.

Depend on what your using it for. I use it for walking only, which means I don't use the basket. Without the basket, you can open and close it in a second and pass it through a small space.

First of all, the installation of this product must be a "secure" installation. So NO, you don't just remove it easily. The BASKET SLIDES forward, so just SLIDE IT and you can dust under there if you need to. But I doubt that many dust particles will accumulate under this basket, because it will be filled with canned goods or whatever you have chosen to place in it. You can also take a thin hand-vacuum cleaner attachment and suck out any dust if needed. But I don't think you will need to do that for a very LONG, LONG time. Or, take a long kitchen knife or sharpening steel, cover it with a dust cloth or dish towel and sweep it under the basket.
