Some oik nicked my laptop from a friends luggage (it was loaned to him for the weekend) at Schipol Airport (Amsterdam).

did you have any securty on the laptop such as passwords etc?
i my line of work i have sevral laptops going around the world and i tell all of the never to leave them on top of any luggage always put them on the bottom of their carry on bags. It may be a pain in the arse if they need to get it out during the filght but they have yet to lose one. They are aslo passworded up with SEVRAL LAYERS OF SECURITY as well as a card system they must put in before the laptop can be used
It was nicked out of his luggage by the imps who live in the baggage handling hall. It does have passwords on it to protect data, but doesnt stop the laptop from being nicked! At least I have an excuse for a nice new shiny one…
