It announces that you have a PC or laptop which makes your home worth a 
punt, after all the scrotes use mobile phones to hunt bluetooth enabled 
sat nav and other electronics in car parks. Plenty of WiFi enabled 
mobiles kicking around now so it's just a matter of time if it's not 
happening already.

Unlikely if it's been configured properly.

It's easy, having family in the police force and knowing (reformed I 
might add) people who's prior occupations involved relieving people of 
their possessions, makes you realise that little tips like that are 
worth knowing because it's so simple to fix (if you were daft enough)
