There is no lock on those doors that can be secured from the outside of the cabin. There is a small latch system which requires someone on the inside to set (or undo) the lock. This is similar to a bathroom stall lock, where it is locked only while you are inside.
Generally, people don't go in other people's sleepers as a matter of ettiquette. If you're concerned, then when visiting the diner/lounge/sightseeing cars, keep any valuable personal belongs on your person. That said, I've never had an issue leaving items in bags in the roomette, but I don't leave hundred dollar bills out on the seat either.
I figured as much when I looked up about the roomettes, that it wasn't 100% secure but generally people wouldn't have the nerve to go fishing around in someone else's space. I'll probably just keep things out of sight (out of mind) like you suggest.

Interestingly we use pounds for a person's weight despite having the metric system. Also feet and inches for height. It's one of those areas where metric never really took off, even with the younger generations like myself that were raised entirely within it. Now is the Superliner the one where there is no window beside the top bunk, or is that the Viewliner?
