While things like locking your car is common sense, logging out, unfortunately, is not, for most people.
Just because many people don't do it doens't make it not common
sense. it makes it an education issue.
I always take any opportunity to educate people, such as this mail list.
Of course, in a world where everybody fully (or even just a little) understands on-line security, this is not a big deal.
That is something everyone needs to strive for to make the world a
better place.
Might I add that it is not unheard of for people to actually forget to lock their car?
True, and people have locked their car when they didn't want to. Neither makes a case for ignoring the general rule of locking your car.
P.S.: According to most Canadians, an unlocked house is actually not "predestined to get compromised" ;)
There are other places other than Canada where that is true, and I
have lived in a few.
There are some places where one lock is not considered enough, and /
or you pay someone to guard the door ( NYC ).
