Dean: I keep my small, shiny stuff mostly in a tank bag which I bring into restaurants etc. with me. The tank bag has a map holder so I usually want it anyway. My saddlebags & tailbag stay on the bike but they are mostly clothes & such - somebody could steal them but it just seems unlikely.

Jacket & helmet come inside for brief stops. If I want to leave them on the bike I use a bicycle cable lock. Gloves go in jacket pocket r sleeves.

At night the tailbag & most other stuff comes inside with me. The saddlebags stay on the bike but they have very specific and not that desirable stuff in them (rain gear on one side, bike junk on the other along with shoes while I'm riding & my boots at night.

A trunk would certainly be convenient.
