It wouldn't technically be your fault if you left it unlocked and someone stole it. Would it, really?
You have the right NOT to have your property taken however you decide to treat it. But that's not how it works in the real world. Even the police essentially say you are to blame if you are a victim of crime, hence all the adverts "don't advertise your phone to thieves" etc. Society has decided that crime is acceptable to a certain extent and that you carry a large part (if not all) of the responsibility to avoid it yourself.
