Stolen Laptops

[Kimberly Heimbrock <heimbrockk () NKU EDU>]

Unfortunately, laptops thefts have been significantly increasing,
(usually in locked offices - after hours) and was wondering what success
anyone has had using Lojack, Prey, or other tools.  Any (affordable)
ideas for increased physical security and software tools that have been
proven to reduce thefts and trace the equipment would be appreciated.
We will be communicating increased fac/staff awareness as it relates to
the physical security of mobile devices, so ideas to be included with
that message would be great too. Thanks in advance!
