In the small town I was raised in, no one locked their doors at night. Car keys were routinely left in autos for the convenience of the owner, and no one cared. Where I live now, I can go off and leave my apartment door unlocked all day and know that there's a good chance that no one will go in.

But you just inadvertantly underscored my point, actually: because we think someone will stroll int our unlocked houses and steal everything, we lock our doors. Because we think someone will run off with our unlocked car, we have these cute little beep-beep things. The odds of someone actually going into your house or stealing your car are miniscule, but we have been so trained to think otherwise that the very idea is impossible to let go of.

Same, IMHO, with this whole nonsense about child nudity. Because we think it's bad, it ipso facto must be. And the fact that the government has a massive document in support of something it cant even define at all simply adds to the comic-opera nature of the whole thing.

I had things stolen from unlocked places. Luckily not from a house, but from unlocked garages and sheds (I lost three high end bycicles and a a full set of ski gear this way.

We had things stolen from  sports venues. Merchandise booths getting robbed overnight, so now when we organize and event, we have to provide overnight security. Couple offices I worked at got robbed. One because an employee forgot to lock the door when leaving at th end of the day, another by the good old brick through the glass door.

There's about a dozen people I personally know whom had their cars stolen, some locked, some unlocked. My ex boyfriend had his luggage stolen out of a company van at an airport parking lot.  A gal I used to know was hijacked with her car in broad daylight in downtown LA.
The city where I lived for 10 years, turns out that one of the school principals was a child molester (got busted 2-3 years ago), you can look it up in the news reports.

I don't know where you live, but where I live theft and crime are just around the corner, and I don't even live in a spot that has really high crime rate for this general area. 
I'm not going by made up stories and threats someone has filled my head with. I'm going by what has actually happened to me and people around me.

Small towns seldom have much crime, because there's very little anonymity or possibility for getting away with it for those that commit them.
Internet is anything but a small town. It provides people even more anonymity then a highly populated city, which tends to equate to even more potential for doing something and getting away with it. Look at warez, porn, p2p copyright violations and whatever else has proliferated on the net, because it's pretty easy to get away with shady behavior.
