Am I the only one who does think this is a serious issue? I mean, unless the garden was a specific no-trespassing zone, it DOES count as an public-accessible area and it DOES matter whether you're visibly naked from it!

It really wouldn't surprise me if something like that has/will happen. A family was sued by a burglar when he got locked in their garage without food or water while they were on holidays and the burglar won the case.
Surprisingly enough, locking someone in a room without food or water for several days is a criminal offence. Intentionally or not. The only real way the family would've won the case is if they had shown that they had entirely checked the garage for people, children, and animals.
Edit: oh, hang on, I thought you meant that the family locked the burglar in the garage, and not that he got locked in himself. A quick google search corrected me. And also, it would've corrected you too: that case was entirely made up.

1: That "chick" is called Mr. Grazinski, not Stella.
2: That case was entirely made up.
3: The Stella Awards were named after Stella Liebeck, who sued McDonalds after she spilled a cup of coffee on herself.
4: ....and which the Stella Awards themselves acknowledge was an entirely serious, non-frivolous case.
