We have never had an issue or real concern. Some of that we attribute to Henry, our ever vigilant guard cat!

Fortunately I have never had anything stolen. I don’t lock everything up but I don’t leave a lot of stuff in plain view.
I also play the radio on the outside speakers at low volume when gone to give the impression that someone may be in the pod.

To me it's a matter of not creating irresistible temptations for others.  Stuff that is not especially valuable or easily sold, and/or awkward or inconvenient to cart away, I don't worry so much about.  So most low value camping stuff, our little barbecue grill, and such, I leave unlocked.  If someone walks off with it, it's no big loss.  On the other hand, for things like my house batteries and propane tank I have them protected with a chain and padlocks to make it a little more inconvenient for the snatch and grab thief.  The spare propane tank and my 2 five gallon fuel cans I keep locked in the camper shell of my truck.  

The overwhelming majority of people who camp in campgrounds are honest folks and theft is generally not a problem.  On the other hand, as we descend into a world of opioid and methamphetamine addictions, especially in rural areas, theft is going to be an ever increasing issue.  

I recently was talking with my daughter, who is an official with the Girl Scouts.  They had to close a summer camp last year because there were so many crackheads and opium fiends wandering through the camp at all hours, day and night.  And this was in a mountain resort area, far from urban centers.  I have to confess, I was shocked to hear that in this relatively remote area there were so many drug addicts.
Never leave footprints behind.
