   Here in the US laptops are just as vulnerable. I see them sitting everywhere while people get up from tables at restaurants and leave them sitting unattended while they go tend to something else. They are left on seats of cars in plain site, the only thing missing is a sign on the car window with an arrow pointing down to it. Airports are prime locations. All you need is an empty black laptop bag and sit next to a business traveler and swap your bag for theirs.
   We need to start treating laptops like a wallet or purse. You wouldn't leave that lying around. Maybe if companies held individuals accountable for a laptop and you knew keeping your job depended on it, you would keep it much more protected.
   Simple changes to behavior would solve a majority of these thefts. Many of these are dissapearing with little or no effort on the part of the thieves. We can stop much of this, but a lack of awarenss coupled with lack of accountability makes for an easy target.
   I polled a group of 40 people about laptop security and only one knew of the locking port on the side of the laptop where you can insert a lock on a tether and literally cable your laptop to a fixed object. Granted if someone really wanted the laptop something like this is not the end all in security but they will create a racket and draw attention to themselves. A thiefs choice? Why bother with a hard target, I look elsewhere for an easier mark.
   Of course that is the simplest of measures and there are many more that go on down the line through data encryption, and those all need to be done as well, but why let it even get that far.
