You’ve paid a great deal of money for your notebook. How can you protect that investment?
...
NEVER let the notebook out of your sight. Twenty seconds is enough time for a thief to take your notebook and be out of sight. Whether you are in a lab, study room, library, dorm room, bathroom, or any public place, make sure your notebook is with you. Treat it like it is a large amount of cash!
- If you must leave your notebook in the car, put it in the trunk. Everyone in Austin recognizes a notebook bag/backpack, especially if you have an official McCombs School of Business backpack. Don't leave it in the car where anyone can see it and snatch it. BUT- It's very hot during Texas summers - which can last from April to October. Don't let your notebook components melt in the car. Never leave your notebook in your trunk for long.
