Worried about equipment theft in the workplace? Maybe you should be. There is no way to completely prevent equipment thefts from occurring, but these three small steps might help reduce the risk:

Purchase and use equipment locks like the one linked below that fits into the Kensington lock slot on many laptop and desktop computers like the Mac mini. This model allows you to set your own combination.  It costs about $35.

Place the equipment out of direct sight, if possible.

Keep your office locked when you're not there.
