Rule number 1 is ALWAYS lock your door when you are not actually in the room. If you have to walk down the hall to the restroom, you're gone long enough to be a victim.
Don't bother chaining down your computer in a dorm room...no one will steal that.
Things to lock up and/or stuff away because they are much more likely to be stolen:
any food items
any beverages, but especially alcohol and cans of soda
CD's/videos/DVD's
currency
small appliances such as a blender...
