Depends on if this is a work issued device or not. If someone steals my work issued, I don't care at all. We have systems where I can still get my things done and the laptops are encrypted with remote wipe capabilities. Sucks to lose equipment, but whatever. That's on my boss' cost center.
Losing my personal laptop is another story. That's money out of my pocket, investments in upgrades, and the worst part is the sticker hoard on the lid. How am I supposed to re-coup that kind of loss? I don't even remember where I got all of them, and then the placement. It took weeks for some of them to make the cut and get positioned where you could still see the logo on the front without hindering the others. This would be a travesty.
