laptop lock for rez
Do you think a laptop lock for rez is necessary? I'm in a double
Does anyone have any experience of their stuff getting stolen in rez?

bought one, used it for like the first 3days. I guess its a good precaution, I wouldn't get anything pricey like those STOP locks.

ya I never had problems with my roommate or anybody else involving my laptop. as previously stated, just make sure you lock your door before you leave for class, library, etc.

^ and his door was never locked. like ever.

I bought one and shoved it in the back of a drawer within the first couple of hours on rez. It's a little more useful if you're going to be in the library, etc. But otherwise, you really dont need it.

You'll probably want one if you're going to study in the library. STOP locks are great, but my cheap Kingston lock has never failed me. I think they're about $20.
