I don't think theft is my whole concern/squick here. I get upset when my possessions are moved to places that don't match my intuition. Back in college the cleaners put my shoes in the closet once and I couldn't find them for a month because they go by the door dammit. Which was OK, because it was college and I wasn't taking any labs at the time, but still.

Privacy is also pretty important to me, both for visceral and practical reasons. Practically, there are plenty of legal hobbies that look very similar to illegal activities, and people are ignorant. I have heard of enough cases of neighbors mistaking tomatoes and okra for marijuana that I really don't want to count on strangers believing that the white fuzz in those jars is going to become tasty oyster mushrooms and not some other kind of mushroom.
