       When I was in college, I was amazed by the number of people who
       would leave their laptops sitting unattended on a desk in a room
       accessible to a lot of people they didn't know well

       This makes me think about people who lay their cellphones down
       just anywhere. I see this in restaurants all the time, but other
       places too. Lay down the phone on the table, forget about it,
       and walk off. I'm sort of surprised there aren't more incidents
       of cell phone snatching as it seems to me to be easy pickins!
       But yeah, you know, ain't none o' my bidness.  ;D

       Reminds me of an article of a city kid who got a scholarship to
       a private school and was stunned that other students (and even
       faculty) leave their backpacks, laptops, etc. on the lawn and
       lunch/library tables and just trust it will still be there. I
       remember doing that when I was in high school (public but
       suburban) and nothing was ever taken. Sad that it's not that way
       everywhere.

       I changed colleges mid-education and had the same thing happen
       at both of them. Women would leave their dorm room door unlocked
       and be amazed when they found someone standing over them in the
       middle of the night (generally, under the influence) or that
       someone had taken something out of their room.
       I notice that dorm doors are self-locking, now, so I guess that
       is less of a problem now.
