Are there locking cases that I could secure to a fixture in the room? Some preliminary Google searching has not turned anything up.
I'd start by virtually securing it. In other words, make sure it's 100% backed up before you go and back it up every time you have a WiFi connection.
Next step would be insurance. Adding it to your homeowner's policy will cost you very little.
Those two measures will greatly reduce the potential loss.
