The analogy is more like someone has a pile of logs in a front yard with 
no fence and a sign pointing at them saying "Logs here" and nobody 
hanging around.  It's probably not theft if you walk away with one.  If 
the lawn has a yard and a gate and the gate's closed and you break 
through it, it is.
