Sadly, laptop thefts occur in the library every quarter.

It may be really crowded, but the honest people studying around you are concentrating on their work not your laptop. 

Don't be a victim of laptop theft.

Here is what you can do to protect yourself from laptop theft.

• Buy a laptop lock (available at Bay Tree Bookstore) and use the laptop anchors on McHenry Fourth Floor
• Don't leave an unsecured laptop or iPad or mobile phone unattended:
• for five minutes
• to go to the bathroom
• to charge
• to get a cup of coffee
• to get a book
• to talk to a friend
• for any other reason

Record and store (somewhere other than your laptops) your laptop's serial number.

Mac:

• Serial number

Windows doesn't make this easy outside the command line. Best to just find it on the machine and write it down.
