... but people do take advantage.  You can do your best to keep track of your bags when moving through airport security, but you can be distracted or otherwise taken advantage of, and off goes the laptop.

We tend to blame people for not knowing better, but you know what?  No one should be trying to steal your stuff!

Not trying to start an argument, Most of the time when laptops are stolen, it because people carelessly put themselves in positions in which their laptops can be stolen, which can be prevented by using common sense. But I agree with you people should not be stealing in the first place, but thieves don't share the same view.

I knew you weren't arguing -- and it was as much a reminder to myself -- yes, too many people are careless, but some are victims of timing or circumstance.
