Re: That's horrible.

That is slightly true.

If your laptop looks like garbage no one will try and steal it.

Smash it up. make it look tatty and you are pretty safe.

I wonder if you can get a beaten up laptop cover to go on your shiny new expensive laptop to make it appear to be worthless rubbish?

The secret to security is to make your neighbour a more attractive target, if you have less good stuff on display and better locks, they will go next door, criminals are, almost by definition, lazy people and will always choose the easy pickings.
