For those organisation who lose hundreds of thousands dollars worth of laptops to thieves each year, the humiliation of the loss is possibly as infuriating a burden to bare as the financial costs associated with it. However these organisations can assuage some of their distress knowing that their problems are shared by one of the world's most powerful law enforcement agencies. In May, thieves reduced the size of the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation's laptop fleet by 182, in one operation. If the FBI can't keep its laptops safe from thieves who can?
