how to prevent someone from stealing your tent while you are away for extended periods of time?

I am going to be camping in the Canadian Rocky Mountains(Jasper and Banff National Park) and sometimes I need to walk away from it to go on a 8 hour long hike. I would camp at a designated campground some can reserve in advance and some cannot. I will not leave any valuables in the tent but the tent will be staying behind. Any ideas on how to make sure I do not lose the tent from someone stealing it? Thanks!

These wire mesh baskets are meant for backpacks, but you could use one for your tent. You would need an additional length of bike cable to secure it to a tree. http://www.basegear.com/pacsafe85.html
