For most webmasters, they have a copy of their site in their office and a copy
on their server. Since their are two copies they still have one should one get
stolen. Hosting it out of your office it sounds like someone could come in and
take everything - you wouldn't even have a copy left. So I'd say you have MORE
to worry about, rather than nothing to worry about.

That said, we have dual high speed connections here in our office, so we have a
development server here that we use for experimenting, not doing anything critical,
and also one running a VOIP service for a local non-profit - again, not a critical service,
as it fails over nicely if the server disappears. We also have someone here virtually
24/7, four very obvious security cameras out front, and alarm system loud enough to
cause permanent hearing damage if you don't get out within two minutes.
