Hardware security
You probably purchased your notebook so you can take it with you. Because
it’s light-weight and compact, it’s easy to carry. But these features also make it
easy for someone else to steal. You may be able to replace your notebook with
a call to your insurance agent, but you cannot replace the information stored
on your notebook.
Kensington lock slot
The first step in notebook security is preventing your notebook from being
stolen.
Attach a cable lock to the Kensington lock slot on your notebook, then wrap
the cable lock to a solid object like a desk or table. You can buy a cable lock at
most electronics stores and many department stores.
For the location of the Kensington lock slot, see your hardware reference.

Use Computrace Complete’s online help

If someone steals your notebook, you may be able to get it back by using
tracking software.
Your notebook may be enabled to take advantage of Computrace® Complete,
a service you can purchase to help find your notebook if it is stolen. This program
automatically reports the location of your notebook once a day while it is
connected to the Internet. If your notebook is stolen, the frequency increases
to every fifteen minutes. A recovery team can give local law enforcement
agencies tracking information and documentation to get subpoenas and search
warrants to recover your notebook.
