There has been a rise in car laptop theft. In one of the companies I heard, 5 laptops get stolen every month. It is an alarming figure. I always wonder how the thief does it. Some say that they have a mystery gadget to detect a laptop in the car.
I read many articles over the Internet, people are saying they used a battery or Bluetooth detector. If it is a Bluetooth detector, maybe they can detect there is a notebook in a car. However in a parking lot, can the Bluetooth detector accurately point out which car is having the notebook? Some say battery detector. Now every car has a car battery so can the detector tell the difference? One engineer claims that detector cannot work over metal. He could be right or maybe not.
The most acceptable answer would be the theft has a syndicate. These syndicates will be waiting at the gate of the big companies which give out notebooks to most employees. They will follow the employee to where ever they go. Most people will not go home after work. They may have dinner or go do some shopping. If they are silly enough to leave their laptop in the car, they will be the next victim.
Bottom line, don’t ever leave your laptop in the car. Self awareness is the best defense. Next I will post about how you can catch the theft that stole your laptop.
