 How do you guard your necessary important items?  Should I carry my wallet 
and keys with me on the Ride?

I frequently forget to do this, but when I'm feeling security conscious I 
lock everything up and hide my keys in a really tricky little spot on my 
horse trailer.  No thief going through a ride camp is going to risk searching 
for the keys, so usually that is enough security.  My dog is usually there, 
but I think given a little prompting he would show a would-be thief WHERE I 
hide the keys!  Sorry you had that type of experience -- I do think it's rare 
-- probably somebody not associated with the ride got light fingered (I like 
to think that's the case, anyway).
