Even when I was washing my hands, I came out of the washroom so that 30 - 45 seconds didn't turn into 2 minutes. Yes, I was pretty careful.
Now, go take a look at the cards that got stolen. Those are life-changing cards. Why was there just one high school kid at the table? Where the heck was everybody else? Where was the owner? I would've had an army watching those cards.

I don't know, maybe locking the bike up would be more careful than leaving it completely unattended outside where anyone walking by could take it, but that's just my opinion. If you think you did enough, I hope that continues to be true for you in the future.
Like I said before, it's not like the dealer had no one at the table and the case was out in the open. It was under or behind his table and there were people in the area. Unfortunately, it looks like he was hit by a group that knew what they were doing and managed to distract the people there long enough to steal the case. That definitely took a lot more effort than it would have taken for someone to steal your bike.
