I'm going to ask, how does one "lawfully gain unsupervised access", without receiving permission in advance??
If someone takes one of my books, my car, my guns, or any other property I own, without me giving them specific permission, how can that be "lawful"??
I have issues with the underlying philosophy in these cases, because it seems to me that the law is saying its ok for people to steal your stuff if you secure it in accordance with our rules, but if you don't then you are responsible for harm caused by the thief because you didn't make them work hard enough to steal it to please us...
I just think that's wrong. I realize it is the law many places, but I still think its wrong, and wrong headed.
