Your addition to the analogy doesn't really change anything, unless I made an absolute guarantee to either 1) immediately destroy the information or 2) destroy said information within a given timeframe and failed to do so.
Both of those are separate issues from leaving the information laying about.
In the original case, I might be stupid, but the interlopers are wrong to assume that they had an invitation to stuff laying about. They are, in fact, burglars.
Even with your addition, they are still burglars. However, I am liable for either 1) failing to destroy said information/stuff and/or 2) failing to do so within the specified timeframe, if the burglary happened after that timeframe.
The blame to the burglars remains the same in either case.
Honestly, I'm sort of enjoying a fat cuppa shadenfreude tempered by the knowledge that it is, for the most part, really none of my damn business what someone else does with their naughty bits.
