When I leave my vendor stall, I remove some of the valuable items,
and move some of the others to the back of the table.
Last time, when I got back, somebody had replaced a couple of items
from my dollar bin with dollar bills.

Hi
The last time I left, by accident, a box with a 2708 ByteSafer
and some cassette tape at the event. Sellam was able to track
me down and return them :)
I don't think that extremely valuable items should be left
unattended( like an Apple 1 ). Also small easily hand carried
items are not a good idea to leave in plain sight. It is not
that I don't generally trust those that come to such events
it is just that in any large group of people, there are always
those with psychological problems the are related to snatching
things. Often these people are otherwise respectable. I doubt
we've yet see anyone come to one of these events with the intention
of stealing things.
The first rule of people is that most are strange. Each has
different motivations.
