here's a very scary online article that I found today http://www.vnunet.com/vnunet/news/21...-laptop-thefts

"A 40 year-old finance manager was stabbed through the lung last month as thieves took his Apple PowerBook"

What are everyones thoughts on this kind of thing?

People get killed for a pack of smokes. I will not be scared to have a powerbook.

If people can get shot for sneakers anything is possible.

While very sad, I'm not at all surprised... Like others have said, it's like a pack of smokes, sneakers, iPod, a watch or any other thing of value. A laptop is a beacon of value.
