This argument sounds to me like security through obscurity [1], the same way some people incriminate emergency evacuation maps of buildings when there is a shooting because they helped attackers find their way inside...

Worldwide shared knowledge versus protection against potential attacks.

> It happens more often than people think

This argument seems to be a strawman, what is the real probability of a wood thief to commit their business, and in particular with the help of that map?
