Something is amiss in this study.

Found it:

Airports, along with hotels and parked cars. are places where laptops can be easily stolen, said the U.S. Federal Trade Commission on its Web site.

They counted hotels, rental cars and all sorts of other places. Its an account of the entire business travelers journey.

Sorry Humphrey but you misquoted and misunderstood the article.

Most are stolen. You turn around for one second and bam. Lost? LOL!

I think the original article clearly states on airports. The quote you used MUST NOT be in actual connection with the survey. Most probably it's just an statement on the FTC web site.

A person is smart, but the problem is people are stupid idiots. They can't even remember what they did 5 minutes ago, I mean come on! Hell I say they deserve to lose their laptops if they are that dumb.
