Look, lemme sum this up really easy. You are blaming the victim when you say "they should have done such and such to prevent such and such". Evil has no right to exist at all, okay? Thus, we shouldn't be forced to accomadate for it. Just because "it happens" doesn't mean I should expect it, or tolerate it, or anything of the sort.
Once again, don't blame the victim at all! You remind me of the disturbed people who talk about how stupid someone was to get killed by some serial killer. Since evil is by default unexcused, any and all mistakes regarding self defense are thus totally excusable. You see, there is ONE bias that is always perfectly justified. I am TOTALLY biased FOR good AGAINST evil, and I'm pretty sure everyone here is as well. Thus, I will ALWAYS take the side of the victim of some evil crime, NEVER the committer of the crime. I mean, how is it a defense to say "well the guy practically invited him in, what with the way it was so easy and all".
What you are basically saying is, in the case of the unlocked door, is that it's MY fault I can't use my TV or computer any more. Now come on, use a little sense here. How can you possibly take such a view as this?

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
