If you do not deregister it, the finder can deregister it directly from the Kindle, so you do not protect yourself by leaving it registered.

EDIT: Maggie Leung, a Kindle forum member, also pointed out that a thief could use a stolen Kindle to get into your e-mail accounts or other websites if your password is stored. This could let them get to confidential information. Deregistering will prevent this."
