Thanks for stopping by and for the comment. You are right- the best thing that people can do to prevent laptop loss is to always be aware of their surroundings. Being conscious of the threat of laptop theft is one of the best ways to prevent it. A laptop should certainly never be left in any public place, such as a 7-11, hotel lobby or airport.
