If you have only one access point and no devices that insist on getting 
the SSID before connecting turning off SSID broadcast does have the same 
effect as a No Trespassing sign: it tells random strangers to stay away. 
  If they ignore your sign they can't claim that "I didn't know I wasn't 
welcome." because they've been warned.  Yes, it doesn't keep them away 
but it may make it easier to prosecute them if they get caught. 
Granted, that's not likely to be a consideration for your average home 
user, but it might be for a small to medium business.
