You don't have to worry about the theft of largish capacity bikes, I've never heard of that at all in Morocco, but if things aren't secured they could go missing. But the concept of a bike cover is a bit flawed, if someone is determined and it's quiet, then all you'll end up with is a bike cover in tatters. In Morocco you should generally always park the bike within a compound/building, or under the watchful eye of a night guardian (10dh).
Having said that, I've been parked up in Sidi Ifni for the last few days with the bike just outside the hotel in the street (under my bedroom window). It has an alarm which helps.
In Fez also I park the bike without a guardian outside Pension Campini but then the police station is just 80m away and there's armed troops permanently stationed guarding the royal palace across the road.
