Have used soft luggage almost exclusively over the years when touring all ovr the UK and Europe and never had any security issues. I feel confident that when you park most areas are where peopl are there for a reason i.e sight seeing, drink, food etc. and not interested in your belongings strapped to your bike. I always make sure the panniers / tail pack are well secured but this is more for when travelling around but obviously makes removeing them quickly very difficult and hence more secure. Hope that helps
