Even though I've not had anything but my bumper sewage hose stolen, why give thieves and vandals a free pass? I lock everything when unhitching -- the BAL X-chocks, wheels, hitch, tongue latch, hitch receiver pin, generator, and battery. The trick isn't being the most secure, but being more secure than the people around, so the tweaker goes to the rig next door.
I do agree about meth-head thieves not being smart. My neighbor's mailbox used to get stolen off his wall every so often until he went to a cheap, plastic one.
It all depends on area one is at. Theft does happen at campgrounds and renaissance faires... but usually it is a few incidents that get a lot of press, and a lot of people hunting down the thieves. However, where I read/hear of many different incidents are at storage yards, where a lot of those places have little security, and here in Texas, burglary of an unoccupied RV is considered burglary of a vehicle (not a habitation), so the burglar might get a night in the clink before being released since the bed in the jailhouse is more needed for a drunk driver.
