USFS (and alikes) safety?
Admittedly, I've never been to a USFS. Is it safe to leave trailers all day long while you visit surrounding places?

Where I disperse camp in NF I've never worried about my gear. They are usually so far from normal routes that thieves aren't likely to find my site. I am much more worried about leaving my gear at a trail head that is frequented by a couple dozen folks a day. Enough possibilities for a thief to score but not enough for them to be noticed while they break into a vehicle.
I try not to leave anything that can't be replaced in the vehicle or where it can be quickly found. It may be an inconvience if they break in and steal something like my laptop, but I will still be able to continue my travels. The phones, cameras, money, and credit cards are with me on the trail anyhow so there isn't much left of value in my rig anyhow.
