Is that really your point of view?

I much, much prefer to be occasionally cheated, if it allows me to live a simpler, quieter life.

I don't drive a card, but I do ride a bike to work, occasionally. Then I have to make a choice, whether to "simply" lock my bike outside the building I work in, or take more drastic measures and take my bike to my office so I can keep an eye on it.

I would never choose to take my bike into my office, simply because it's way too much trouble. I leave it outside, with a reasonable lock on it, and if someone really wants to steal it, I lose a bike. But I believe that's acceptable risk for all the times I don't have to bother taking my bike in, with the associated trouble of not leaving mud all over the place, and so on.

Of course, if the stakes were much higher, I might get worried. But my bike isn't a very fancy one, and that's a significant part of it.
