I'm a little undecided about that.  If someone leaves for a weekend but
leaves their doors unlocked (because dealing with locks is inconvenient),
then yes, they probably get what they deserve.  Similarly, if every news

opener codes, and the only fix is to de-activate your opener, but you
neglect to do so...
