I'm a confirmed boondocker and have done a lot of solo camping, beginning in my tenting days and now in a little fiberglass trailer....the only critters I've ever had to fight off have been mice, mosquitos, biting flies, and yellowjackets. A popup will certainly keep any of those out as well as any other kind of trailer.
As for bears, one of those puppies can break into a steel CAR if it's so inclined. Just be smart about warnings/restrictions if camped in marauding Yogi country.
If you're worried about "criminals cutting through the sides", my suggestion is that you might want to rethink camping by yourself, or at least confine your camping to formal, secure campgrounds.
