This is just incredible!
The famous Kensington locks for securing laptops while you're away from it can be beaten with just a toilet roll and some gaffer tape!
Don't believe me? Watch the clip below.
A more detailed walkthrough is at this site:

Because of this, some have suggested that mac laptop users try out "Undercover" http://www.orbicule.com/undercover/
It reports on the current network settings of the laptop once online, takes regular screenshots of what the thief is doing, and even use the built in iSight camera to take snapshots of the mugger.
If that still fails, it will simulate a dead system, hopefully forcing the thief to sell it or repair, at which point it will alert the new owner what has happened and offer a finder's fee. This is certainly impressive and I think I would buy this if I carried around a Macbook. More details on the URL.

Perhaps you should do some real background checks mate. The video is over 5 years old and from what I can tell (and tried) you can't do this with the new locks.
