It's generally felt that you can't lock your Wireless LAN down completely. As long as you're data is going over the air, it can be exploited by someone who has the time, determination, and tools.
There are other considerations. You may be located in an area that is more prone to attacks, for example a college campus or a business center. Or you may be in a more rural area with less population. But this may actually have the reverse effect, if your broadband connection is a popular target because access is scarce.
Security is a personal decision, but the bottom line may be that taking whatever steps you can may cause an attacker to look for an easier target.
