I've camped throughout most of Europe and never felt it was unsafe to leave stuff with the tent.The making friends-with-your-neighbours is a good bit of advise if you are concerned though.I too like to camp wild whenever i can and try to find out of the way unseen places to do this on the principal that if you can't be seen,nobody knows you're there! Otherwise i try to find a municipal camping ground as they're usually about half the price of privately run camps and nearly always have excellent facillities.All allow you to have the bike next to the tent,and some even have changing room style lockers in the main building.Most are short walking distance from the centre of the village/town and despite this are quiet.The manager/manageress is usually friendly and a wealth of local info(where you can get the best bread,things to see,etc...).
