So, if I steal your car to rob a bank, it's actually *your* fault for not leaving your car in a concrete bunker, far out of the reach of my grubby hands?
In many countries in Europe, if you left your car unlocked with the keys in the ignition and someone stole it and then used it in a bank robbery, you certainly could be sucessfully prosecuted if the cops were asshole enough...same principle as leaving your wireless network unsecured I guess...although in this case it wouldn't apply since the owner of the router had applied a WEP key and therefore had taken "all reasonable precautions" available to him. (Doesn't absolve the thief of responsibility for *their* crime in any way either, I certainly wouldn't want a "friend" like that).
