[Infographic] The Cost of Stolen Laptops

Did you know that a tenth of all laptops will eventually be stolen? That is a depressing thought. Mine was stolen many years ago from the trunk of my car, parked in a suburban shopping mall lot. Or that half of you keep passwords and other personal information on your laptops? These and other stats come from a study from Kensington, maker of anti-theft devices.

Yes, a new laptop is stolen every minute, and about half of the smartphones out there don’t have any protection whatsoever. So don’t leave those laptops in your hotel rooms or your cars when you travel, people!
