Ok, here's a different example. Defilibrators, strategically positioned at places where a lot of people congregate. Such as train stations or city centers. Herearound those are not locked. There's nothing stopping you of taking it out and toss it into the river. The social contract is such that you just don't fucking do it and frankly, I never heard of such a thing happening. And yes, we have our shares of assholes. Contrast that to the UK, where they are under lock and code. You call an operator explaining the emergency and she may unlock it. There are two problems that I can see (and probably more). The communication device adds another layer of potential failure. And those two minutes it takes to unlock the device may be the difference between life and death. I, for one, know in which kind of society I prefer to live. Even given the very occasional asshole who breaks that contract and abuses the accessibility of that life saving device.
