Theft
I am always amazed by the amount of worry folks express about their gear being stolen. How many have actually, personally had something stolen while camping? Please restrict yourselfs to person...

I'm not paranoid about having stuff stolen but I do use diligence in keeping most of my stuff secure. My thought is it won't keep the crooks away but will keep the honest people honest.
You must not get out much! :B I am 45 and have heard since I was a kid.
I've heard it all my life too. Perhaps a southern thing....
No, I've always heard it in the north too. You folks getting offended, please relax. Just an old saying meaning to take minimal precaution "to keep the honest people honest". We all know honest people won't steal it anyway; dishonest people will find a way to take it no matter what, if they want it. I'm sure no offense was intended.
