Ugh. Bad day, indeed. Some months ago in response to workplace theft warnings (apparently there are thieves who specialize in slipping into office buildings and walking away with laptops, purses, etc.), I got one of those little cable locking devices. (Most laptops have a little slot made for this purpose.) It takes about 30 seconds to snap into place and makes it impossible to quickly walk away with the laptop. It won't stop a determined thief with the time to unscrew the legs of the desk or one that wanders around with a substantial pair of wire cutters in hand, but I feel pretty secure leaving the laptop on my desk while I go to meetings or lunch.
