Same here.
I use a U lock with a cable to secure the front wheel. Everything else is allen keyed on other than pump and front light and computer which I carry with me.
in the village I live in people leave bikes in the garden overnight, cars unlocked and i often go for a walk with the dog and leave the garage door open or the hous e unlocked.
My neighbours couldn't beleive it when we set our alarm on the car when parking in the drive.
One road in, one out and everyone looks out for everyone else.
