<p>I'd argue in truth is there's not much you can do about theft, if someone is truly determined to get your property they'll do it, no lock or hiding the item(s) is going to stop them.</p>
<p>Except most thefts in the dorms aren't by professional or well-trained thieves; they're simply other students. Theft usually doesn't happen unless it's an EASY theft, so the lock is actually a pretty good deterrent in this specific situation.</p>
