@steeph @mbr My laptop was stolen at the EasterHegg 2007. @timpritlove's laptop was stolen on the Chaos Camp 2003, I seem to remember. Several of my ZIP disks (with important data on them!) were stolen at #15c3, 1998. On the c3s before that, hardware was labelled at the entrance to make it harder to steal it. Even though it feels like you could leave your stuff unattended at Chaos events, it was never really a good idea.
