I also turn off fuel at the end of each flight, especially if I am going to a fly-in or somewhere where there are people walking around the aircraft. Propellors seem to act as magnets to some people, and the urge to reposition or slightly turn the prop seems irresistible to some. If the fuel is off, this minimises the risk of damage to persons or property should the engine fire when the prop is turned.
