Ah! I have the exact same recurring worry, it's very unpleasant. I'd really prefer to keep home media unencrypted, but the thought of a robber seeing my tax returns or photos of my infant daughter is constantly at the back of my mind.

Even worse is the eventuality of them getting their hand of a picture of your ID card or passport, or whatever they can later use to steal your identity. Identity theft is nightmare stuff.
