Is this a Forum rule?

...If, for the sake of argument, you were daft enough to write down your online banking details and then leave the paper behind in an internet cafe, would I be justified in law if I were to empty your bank account, arguing that your carelessness amounted to a reasonable belief of implied consent?
Your analogy involves passwords which, by their very nature, cannot assume implied consent.

A better analogy would be a bowl of sweets in the internet cafe with a sign saying "Please help yourself".
