As it turns out, judges _do_ say stuff like that. Where I live, they've made it illegal to leave your car unlocked… "Car got stolen? Sorry, your fault, you left the window open."



You're missing the point. The question is about the legality of access without authorisation. Just because it's illegal to leave your car unlocked doesn't magically make it legal to steal from an unlocked car.
