I _am_ suggesting that if the conference organisers receive a

I think many of us disagree here: if such a serious accusation is made
it should be investigated by professionals, ie the policy.
So if someone was at the conference and the organisers were convinced
that they were stealing laptops, the organisers would just call the
police and if the police don't arrest the culprit and imprison them
right away, they would allow the thief to continue ?
I am extremely sceptical of the capability of people to make correct
accusations or to prove them. The police should be much more capable to
do so than conference organisers due to their training and experience,
and if they decide not to arrest someone they probably have a good
reason to.
