I carry
Multitool: Topeak Alien or Hexus (depending on bike)
Pump: Lezyne Road drive for roadie. Revolution Air Mini Pump for higher volume/lower pressure tyres
Lock: There ain't no lock that is "secure enough" for all purposes. I usually carry one of these http://www.amazon.co.uk/Life-Venture-Lifeventure-Cable-Lock/dp/B000R2FMPO
and hope the next guy along has, either a bike more worth nicking, or some huge D- lock that makes it look as if his bike is worth nicking, or no lock at all
The corollary to that is that anywhere I'm not confident of the surroundings or leaving bike for any length of time- I just take a bike that a) looks deeply undesirable and b) would likely do serious damage to the 'undercarriage' of any unsuspecting scroat who could be arsed to cut that cable with a pair of nail scissors and try to ride off on it.
