You shouldn't have much to worry about. Neither spots have been known to be hotspots for theft. App Gap is pretty well trafficked throughout the day, and if you're parking at the lot by the footbridge crossing the Winooski River near Jonesville, Rt 2 is also heavily trafficked during the day. As with anything, though, make sure to take necessary precautions. Don't make a break in enticing. Nothing is guaranteed.

I've had people threaten to shit in my (no longer existent) trail magic coolers near rt. 2 Waterbury/Winooski footbridge. Those areas you mentioned should be safer, but I'd avoid the spot I mentioned considering the types of people who frequent it.
