In my experience (Australia) the protocol has been to leave your stuff at the table. I've seen people leave their stuff for an hour or more sometimes (though it seems a bit rude to use up an otherwise unused table for so long).

Generally if someone leaves their laptop to go pick up their order / bathroom I try to keep an eye on it. I assume they'd do the same for me.

Tangentially, when I visited Melbourne a few years ago, I left my backpack, with my laptop, phone, and accessories on the tram on a Saturday morning. When the lost & found office opened Monday morning, the bag had been turned in, complete and intact.

I wish I knew who turned it in, so I could've shouted them a pint or whatever.
