Once you have done a few outback miles on our dusty roads .. anyone who touches it will be marked by the red dust. Most people won't bother due to the dirty motorcycle image. I wash my bike before I do a service or change a tyre. On a trip - leave it dirty.
Your theft worries are when you go shopping in a larger place.. say 3 or more pubs. Smaller places will know who stole it .. if they are a local.
The camping gear is not too much of a worry .. mark it with your name and phone number (cell phone). The things you really want to keep safe are your photos and notes. You cannot replace them no matter how much money/insurance you have.
