Worried about laptop theft?

Post by Crayz9000 »

Then get the PowerPizza laptop box!

I couldn't help but laugh when I saw this one on /. It's a Italian-style pizza box lined with foam padding and with straps built in to hold a laptop. Want waterproofing? Then just get a pizza carry bag like the delivery drivers use!

just hope there aren't any thieves lurking nearby with a serious case of the munchies.

You mean nobody's using the ever popular P-P-Powerbook cases anymore? Damn!

To those who want laptop security, don't bother with Kensington locks. I've picked one with a toilet paper tube and some duct tape before (seriously).

It's called handcuffing the case to your wrist and carrying a .45 on a shoulder holster. Duh. :P

CHP officer, did you realize there's a computer in the back of your car?

Me: yes, I only use that for LAN meets, it's a piece of shit otherwise.
CHP: aren't you afraid someone's going to steal it.
Me: I leave my doors unlocked, what does that tell you.


*it's an obsolete HELL computer that no one wants, I can't even give it to the salvation army, worse it's not really even mine, I was left behind by an ass munch who stole my Athalon 1333, about 3 years ago, and is only a 250mhz P2 model, kinked out as much as it can be. All it really does, is play Red Alert/Halflife now.
