Baggage theft from trains?

Curious the experience folks have had with luggage on trains (Eurostar and SNCF). The last time I was on a train in Europe, I had a backpack I could easily store about the seat.

I'm returning now, family in tow, and we will have at least 1 bag (full sized suitcase)/person.

We have a steel cable we could run through all the bags to help deter theft, but not sure it's worth it.

Can folks comment on their experience storing bags, especially in cases where they may be out if direct sight at the end of the train compartment?

Thanks.
