It is only prudent to use whatever techniques are available to you to
secure your files from unauthorized access. However, your failure to do so
does not imply that you are granting permission to others to use them.
Common courtesy requires that you do not use other people's property
without their express permission, that you do not read their mail even if
it is not locked up, and that you do not poke around in their files unless
they explicitly tell you it is all right to do so.
Unfortunately, there are many people who are pretty weak in the
courtesy and honor departments. It's because of them that you really ought
to keep your possessions, letters, and files secured.
