Re: Physical Laptop Security

Some of our folks use the Kensington cable locks. But that's
not really too secure. We had one stolen where the thief simply
broke the attachment from the side of the case and walked off
with a laptop with a small hole in the side.

I'm wondering what people are doing to prevent faculty laptops from
being stolen on campus.  The obvious answer is, "have them lock their
office when they're gone."  One would think this to be common sense.
Unfortunately, it seems that is not the case.  Since we can't rely on
faculty locking their office what are some other options for physically
securing a laptop?
