Is theft a problem on Cape York?

Planning a trip with friends to Cape at end of June but have off road trailer that has just a canvas closure and therefore can't be locked. Heard today at the camping show that items not locked away at campsites or in trailers 'often' go missing.
I realise there will be a few horror stories of people who lost heaps of gear, but am wondering whether 'often' means this is a common occurrence and whether we need to look at making the trailer (and/or tent) more secure for times when we are off walking or swimming. I can see how five swags and/or eskies could be an attractive take.
If it is a problem can people shed light on where problem areas are, what do they usually steal, is it usually from cars or tents, and how people combat the problem?
Can you tell I am worried? Any help greatly appreciated. David
