This is pretty similar to kidnapping someone and using their ATM every day at midnight with a hoodie on, and when you're done, you let him go and THEN he'll block his card.

And interestingly this virtually never happens that I know of outside of some countries in South America (where there's actually a term for it, express kidnapping)

In any case, it's no different to someone being abducted for his ATM card, it applies exactly the same.

We can have a broader discussion about physical security, I'm not saying we're all perfectly secure, but acting like it's a unique problem to bitcoin money is disingenuous.
