I read recently in Wired Magazine that laptop (notebook) computers are the number one stolen piece of electric hardware. Most thefts can be prevented simply by locking the laptop to a fixed object like a radiator pipe in your hotel room, or a piece of furniture at the coffee shop when you go to the washroom. That's a particularly important one, by the way. Turns out many laptops are stolen by the very 'honest-looking' person who agreed to watch your computer at the coffee shop. So get a sturdy cable lock. It's cheap insurance.
