I don't think the house analogy works. You don't keep other peoples stuff at your house. If you ran a storage warehouse, I'm pretty sure your customers would expect you to have adequate security. If a customer came in through the back door of my warehouse, and told me the lock doesn't work, I wouldn't punish him. I would fix the lock.

And if that same customer smashed a bunch of stuff, vandalized the walls, and stole product that was being stored in the warehouse - you'd prosecute the hell out of him... and then fix the lock.
