Priorities shift in securing our stuff?

In a world where we fear what people will do with the power of anonymity... Do we no longer fear when people would have to do something in the open? I find it interesting to watch as people secure their digital information and then leave their wallets, phones, laptops, purses, etc unsecured and unwatched in coffee shops, restaurants, disneyland and whatnot. Is it that people have become lazy to the obvious threats that surround them daily or are we shifting into a world where the criminals have become lazy to things that involve risk? Just a curious observation...
