They has been always left in seat or seat pocket. Should I keep an eye on the valuables in carryon stored in overhead cabin throughout long haul flight?

If someone asks for amenity kid, I may just give it after taking out needed items for flight...
I have locks on every pocket of my backpack for this reason (plus my rollerboard of course). I've been mocked by colleagues before for having so many locks on my backpack but this is exactly why - can't trust anyone on a plane (apart from family/SO you may be traveling with), even in premium cabins and especially on overnight flights when you might fall asleep and not notice what's going on.

Cellphone stays in pocket, everything else goes in a locked pocket when not in use.
