Don't leave your flares on board over the winter!! If it's kids and they find that, they'll have a field day.

At the other end of the spectrum, there are marinas that everything of value (even of little value) needs to be chained down or it will walk away.

Re: TO LOCK OR NOT TO LOCK?
I believe locks are only for honest people. I lock my house, but I don't lock my boat. There is nothing in my boat that would be worth as much as fixing the damage they would do breaking into the boat. Electronic's are on the bridge and they can't be locked up anyway.
Yes, locking it up is a deterrent, and the thief's biggest challenge is the time it would take to get in and the noise makes increasing his chances of detection and getting caught.
If their intent is vandalism, then it won't matter if it's locked or unlocked. They will get in anyway.
Got to do what you are comfortable with IMHO.
