Exactly. If you don't secure your house properly, then your insurance company may not have to pay up, since you've probably breached your contract with them. But anyone who goes in and nicks stuff is every bit as much a criminal as they would be if it were locked.
Are we going to stop prosecuting pickpockets if they only take things from unsecured pockets?
