    If anyone ever did break into my house and take my computer, they would have to unplug it first; at that point, the disk would encrypt

    The disk is always encrypted. When data is accessed, it is stored decrypted in RAM. The drive doesn’t decrypt when unlocking it and doesn’t encrypt when turning it off.
