I have to remove one to fill with fuel so might just keep the lynch pin in that one.
That's what I did for a while. Turns out unlocking and removing the lock isn't really that much harder than removing the lynch pin, so now I use the locks all the way around. Do I need them? Probably not. I mostly boondock so there isn't a whole lot of human traffic then. But between home and the campsite I usually have to make numerous stops and you never know who's prowling the rest area parking lots so it's relatively cheap insurance compared to the price of new fastguns.

I'm just eliminating the easy opportunities and know if someone wants to steal something they can. I just try to make my things less convenient than the others around me.
That's key IMHO. A determined thief will take what they want. Most thieves are opportunists though and anything that will slow them down is usually sufficient deterrent.
Just my $0.02
