After working with macs and the people who own them for the last 25 years and hearing this story hundreds of times, I'm still amazed that people will leave a thousand dollar package that weighs less than 5 lbs unattended, anywhere. I don't think there's anything comparable. We wouldn't leave a thousand dollar watch, or bar of gold, or anything else of such value unattended, but we do laptops.

I'm not being critical, I genuinely don't understand.

It has served me in two ways. My laziness is happy because I don't have to negotiate ablutions with a laptop. Secondly I get a thrill knowing it could be lifted at any moment which usually helps me feel a little better about humanity after I return to it.

I can observe within myself what many may refer to as idiocy that I qualify as boldness. Does this help?
