It's like saying I am in a developed country's capital city and my laptop is picking up a signal, maybe per chance this street is covered by a wifi hotspot.
that would be my defence anyway - but there is still no comparrison between this and your analogy.
closer would be

when people have opinions like this I am saddened by the state of society:
'No, but as a responsible citizen you shouldn't actually be leaving your car or house unlocked, or valuable jewellery on your living room window sill. That's more or less an open invitation.
'
very sad that it is accepted that people are allowed to try to steal your belongings and it is your fault for not securing them enough or keeping things hidden.

furthermore, I am always amazed when for example I am in Vienna and I see builder's lorries parked overnight with all kinds of equipement in the back not welded down, I think to myself, wow, that would be gone in the UK
very sad and it is accepted in the UK !!
