In a previous tip of the day I talked about how it was necessary to lock your desktop when you were away.  On a similar page is the concept of physically locking up your laptop using your “laptop lock”.  This is usually a cord that you can loop through a secure holder on your desk and then “lock” to your computer via a key and lock port on your laptop.  Believe it or not, laptop theft is a serious problem in the workplace, so if your laptop is at your desk it should be locked up at all times.  These things can be VERY expensive to replace and you better believe your company is coming after your paycheck if it is stolen and you didn’t have it locked up.
