When boats are docked at a marina how do owners “lock” them up to prevent people from boarding and stealing their stuff or causing mischief?

I have a boat I keep in a harbor in Chicago.
There’s a gate code to get on the dock that deters casual passers bye
anybody dedicated to get on can swim on or slip around it.
there’s also security that walks the grounds, but they’re less than amazing.
the actual below deck cabin of my boat is locked w/ a key. If you were to jump on & just have access to my cockpit & aft deck you could steal some PFDs, some lines, nothing of real value.
Some neighbors have a web cam on their boat or pointed at their boat & they’ve caught footage of people boarding & snooping around.
as much as that sucks, they’re not gonna get anything valuable.
If they discover the aft deck fridge, maybe they’ll find some beer.
