Theft: the bad, the bad, and the really bad

So we are starting fulltime in June. Although I'm not overly paranoid I am cognizant of my surroundings. That being said going fulltime or anytime for that matter leaves "doors open" in and around the RV. What has been your experience whether with you or someone you know of things gone missing as in stolen? I'm running through possible items such as expensive surge protectors, bicycles, etc. along with coming up with my own list I'm starting to create plans to protect some stuff.

Cheers!

basically if you don't want it to walk away then lock it up. that being said we've only experienced one theft in the past 30-years and that was when we used the MH as our touring vehicle. we left a few things in the campsite at an Indiana state park to show that the site was still occupied and then took off on a drive. when we returned some of those items had walked off. a good hardened steel cable and padlock will help protect the SP or...as we did...get the hard wired surge protector.
