There is no place to lock up gear. It is the honor system. You will also see packs left at the John Muir trail junction past Trail Crest. These are thru hikers on the JMT leaving their heavy packs to bag Whitney. I have never heard of theft. Take food stuffs with you or secure in a bear can. The marmots will chew through tents and packs to get at food.
