Want to know where you are most likely to have your laptop stolen?
Posted by Mysti under IT Information
It turns out that a surprisingly large amount of laptops go missing at airports. In the US 10,278 go missing every week from the largest airports and only 35% are recovered. Other common places include hotels and parked cars.
So what can you do to help prevent losing your laptop at an airport? The American FTC suggests you treat a laptop like cash when you are in an airport. You wouldn’t take your eyes off a pile of money when you are in a public place so you shouldn’t take your eyes off your laptop either. You should also take the laptop on the place with you so you can keep an eye on it.
