Of course, someone intent on inflicting damage could still find a way.

Ok. That blows my argument out of the water. I think I'll remove the locks from my car and house too. I mean, if someone really wants to get in...

Just wondering... Where do you live, and what kind of car do you drive? Also, when the locks will be off would be helpful. :smileyshot22:

Actually, I think the key concept you're espousing, which I agree with, is creating a deterrent. It's the same reason some put those fake security cameras in their shops. They don't do a stinkin' thing, but they deter the casual criminal. The criminal who's intent on having his way won't be stopped by it.
 
Even better than that- a sheet of Optium would have really helped Steve Wynn if it had prevented him from putting his elbow through his Picasso painting:

Vegas mogul sues Lloyd's over $54 million damaged Picasso claim

JANUARY 11--Months after he accidentally poked a hole in a Picasso painting, casino magnate Steve Wynn today sued Lloyd's of London for failing to pay off a $54 million insurance claim. Wynn, who purchased the painting "Le Reve" for $48.4 million in 1997, contends that the painting was worth $139 million when, on September 30, he "accidentally placed a tear" in it while showing the work (pictured at right) to friends visiting his Las Vegas office. According to Wynn's U.S. District Court complaint, a copy of which you'll find below, the businessman contends that, as a result of the tear, the painting's value has plummeted to $85 million. He has demanded that Llloyd's pay him the difference in the appreciated value of the painting and its post-damage worth. The day before he punctured the painting, Wynn had entered into an agreement with hedge fund titan Steven Cohen to sell "Le Reve" for $139 million. That deal died after the damage was disclosed to Cohen. Included as an exhibit to Wynn's lawsuit is a "sworn statement in proof of loss" that likely made knees buckle at Lloyd's...

See, there are situations that make Optium seem downright CHEAP.
