I bought a Hiplok original round-the-waist type chain lock after seeing @Gustav using one in France when we crossed paths. Tend to dump it at the bottom of a pannier rather than wear it around my waist but not really sure why as you don't really notice it.
Really useful for peace of mind when in grocery stores etc, and as I'm usually touring alone it's been an unfortunate necessity. Could probably get by without one but would involve being quite cheeky and asking to bring your bike in with you wherever you went. Extra weight not usually an issue for me as most of my touring is longer distance so I'm carrying loads of unnecessary weight anway
