Sometimes all that's required is some form of deterrent. For example, when it comes to looking for access to a wireless network 'off the cuff' in an area aren't you more likely to piggy back onto the network with no encryption and advertised SSID than those that have these measures covered? Hence my house analogy - would an opportunist housebreaker (no such crime as 'burglary' in Scotland!) pick the only house in the street with an alarm?

I wasn't having a dig Rob. Just felt that those a little less familiar with such matters than ourselves should not be put off implementing even the most basic of measures.
