Remember to take out the Fusion Core every time you exit it since the Power Armor is almost useless without it. You can also remove the individual pieces and place them in your inventory while just leaving the Base Frame behind.

By removing the Fusion Core when you exit the Power Armor, you can ensure that it does not get stolen. Walk closer to the suit after exiting it and you will get the option to Transfer the Fusion Core. This will place it in your inventory. This is also necessary when attempting to charge the Fusion Core.
