totally agree with this! and yes folks are watching you --- i've had people tell me what i did every day of my trip and what clothes i was wearing -- and yes it usually happens toward the end of your trip --- so there's not enough time to do anything about it (not like that would really help)
IMHO - the thieves target folks they know have something to steal --- i wouldn't be a bit surprised if that door was closed - how would the thieves be able to see otherwise from the ground to the third floor - do you think thieves "go shopping" - part of the thing is quick in and out
and those on-site trip reports - well you're advertising you have a computer at a minimum and almost your every move
