Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Kensington K64560US ComboSaver Portable Notebook Computer LockCustomer Review: Stronger Than Denim, That's for Sure Summary: 4 Stars
They say when it rains, it pours. And sometimes life just unzips and drowns you like a urinal cake in a rogue tsunami. That's how it's been at the office lately. And now I've been struck with that most insidious of office nuisances: workplace theft.
Every day, I'd find something else missing at my desk. First, it was Post-Its. Then my three good clicky-top pens. Mousepads, headphones, those emergency airline bottles of gin in the bottom drawer -- all gone. I resolved to fight this sticky-fingered felon, and to protect what precious little stuff I had left.
I figured this would stop the thief in his tracks. These locks are made of metal strong enough to resist a blowtorch and jackhammer sandwich. You could floss a great white shark with one of these babies. Anything I wanted to keep, I'd just loop this thing through, hook it onto the computer, and be all set.
Unfortunately, I wasn't paying close attention when I set it up, and completely forgot to look up the default combination on the instructions. Which wouldn't have been a problem, but I REALLY wasn't paying attention and accidentally looped the lock through one of the belt loops on my pants. Which meant I wasn't going anywhere further than eighteen inches away from the desk, unless someone happened by with a diamond-studded chainsaw to cut me loose. And the instructions were just where you'd expect them to be -- in the trash can, eight feet away.
I played it off for the rest of the day -- said I was staying at my desk for lunch. Missed the all-hands staff meeting in the afternoon. Had a VERY interesting conversation with the firemen who came when the alarm went off. But I got through the day. and when everyone had left I slipped out of the pants and escaped.
Of course, they'd emptied the trash by then, so I still don't know the combination. And now I have a pair of Levi 501s permanently draped over my monitor. On the bright side, I guess, at least the thief hasn't managed to steal THOSE.
