Australia Laptop Theft Reports in the press that about one out of every 14 portable computers is stolen, appear to be highly exaggerated. Despite this lower statistic, owners of portable computers should not be complacent about security. Police have noted that, in terms of attractiveness to criminals and their customers who purchase stolen goods, the portable computer is becoming an item of popular choice among thieves.
Computers offer criminals the opportunity to exploit a whole new market.
A portable computer is valuable, compact, very transportable and relatively easy to steal in a public place, making it a much higher risk than the VCR that stayed at home. Owners should be aware of this and take reasonable precautions. Several corporations have adopted the system, including Andersen Consulting, Canon, Coca-Cola, Compaq, DHL, Ford Motor Company, IBM, Nestle, Nike, Sony and Toshiba.
