I like the looks of my bike and hate to see it all lumpy with add-ons and attachments. I will not commute with the bike equivelant of the family truckster.
Generally, I leave it on the bike. If I was really worried about the pump more often than not I'd have a way to carry it with me. If I had to leave my bike parked over night at a place like a college campus, then I probably wouldn't carry a pump on my bike.
I won't loose any sleep over the possibility of a patch kit or spare tube getting stolen.
