Of course, if someone wanted to actually do something effective, they
could synthesize a bunch of junk "sensitive" data, put it on a laptop,
and carry it around in one of those bags as thief bait.  All the
contact info for the fictional people would be ringed with tripwires so
that anyone touching them immediately comes under intensive
investigation for links to the thief.  For extra subtlety, put the
sensitive data in "deleted" files or the like.

But that would be effective, so of course they won't do it. :-/
