We use a htich lock and wheel clamp ( Gold secure rated) when parked on the drive and I use the hitch lock when towing. It is unlikely that someone will steel your camper when it is up but we put the locks on to prevent the locks from being stolen and comply with insurance requirements.
When stored on a drive? Mine's stored in a garage so don't wheel clamp. If yours is visible on a drive any proprietary wheel clamp should suffice.
When parked while travelling? If worried then always leave someone in the car 'on guard'.
While pitched at a camp site? Any proprietary wheel clamp, but not sure why I bother - who's going to attempt to spend at least an hour to dismantle a the awning tent, pack it all up and manage to drive off.
When overnighting at a camp site? Any proprietary wheel clamp - although I'm normally more concerned about the other camping equipment.
If parked at a budget hotel? Any proprietary wheel clamp and I have also used a continuous loop alarm that would have sounded if the car and trailer had become separated.
However, unless you have something really special there are not that many people out there looking to steal 'run of the mill' trailer tents.

What I want to reduce is the risk of someone unhitching the unit from car whilst parked up or moving it from the site if we just have the cabin set up with no awning
