if someone has access to your console to reboot into single user mode it 
doesn't matter if you have a root password or not your data is unsafe. 
They can pick the computer up and walk out of the door with it or grab a 
screwdriver and steal the hd, anything.

In fact if someone is sitting in your home at your desk I wouldn't worry 
about the fact they can fsck with your data I would phone the police 
first ;-)
