Agreed. If you leave your house unlocked and someone walks in and steals your stuff, they can still be tried and convicted for burglary, though maybe not for breaking and entering.
Now, if you are running a self-storage warehouse and you leave the master key lying around, your customers will almost certainly be able to sue you for negligence. The thief is still committing burglary, though.
We live in a polite society, we are supposed to be able to make rules and have people respect them regardless of whether they are technically capable of circumventing them.
- dpark 10y ago> burglary, though maybe not for breaking and entering. Off-topic, but in a number of states, these are the same thing. e.g. California has no "breaking and entering" law. Burglary is just entering with the intent to commit larceny or a felony.

- tptacek 10y agoNo, they can indeed be tried for breaking and entering.
