I have Tourmaster Cruiser II bags and a tankbag. During stops for food I try to stop at a place where I can see everything. I leave the helmet on the bike and keep loose stuff in the tank bag. Haven't lost (had stolen or forgotten) anything yet. On the road at night hotel folks have always accomodated my request to have a room where I could park the bike just outside the door or would let me park near the office where they could see it. I take the GPS and tank bag off as well as whatever bag is strapped to the seat and use the stock steering lock, bike cover, and a cable that keeps the cover on. No huge chain or cable.
