If its a remote location, and camp isnt visible from the trail, Ill leave my stuff set up. In the backcountry I'll willing to take that chance that no one is going to want to hike out with my gear, plus theirs. If its front country, or in a campsite thats easily visible on a highly used trail...probably not going to leave my stuff set up unless there is someone there I can trust to watch it, ie. a caretaker. That said, if I get a funny feeling that something isnt right, I'll pack it up regardless. Fortunately, most of my camping isnt base camp style stuff so this isnt usually a big issue for me.
