Used to cable lock them to the bike, now I throw them in the tour-pak. If you decide on cable, BUY A GOOD ONE! My first was a cheapie and it fell apart in the saddles from regular bouncing around!

Will not own a helmet with D rings,
Put my helmet on the the end of the handle bars.
Haven't had anybody to take it. And I've been to the Lonestar Rally with 500,000 bikers.
Yer pretty hard up if you steal a helmet. Lots of folks don't even wear em.

Teens or some asshat walking by just taking it so you can't have it is what you're protecting yourself from.
I use a cable bike lock but really only lock it up if I am going to be away from my bike for a long period of time (hours). And usually at that point I am sliding the cable through my jacket sleeve also to lock that up. Nothing that a true criminal couldn't crack but I put nothing past mischievous teens.

Pretty much my thought too. Stopping off at the more biker-friendly bars in the area, I just set the thing on my seat. If I'm at a more "popular" location where there's teens around much, I use an actual helmet lock that I mounted on the backside of the license plate holder.
