Cubicle area might be public (Score 1)

I trust the people in the business I work at. 7 people in all. I leave my laptop on a desk in the office area or on my toolbox during the day. The thing I think about sometimes, is the people that are walking through off the street. The doors to the office are left open to the hallway which is shared by three business. The office can be empty for an hour at lunch or other times. If I'm not using the laptop I just put it in a cabinet. I could understand the posters concerns being appropriate if the cubicle area is semi-public. My suggestion would be a cabinet with a locking top, cut a u-channel for the attaching cables and perforate the back for ventilation. Open the top and guide your cables into the channel and then lock the top.
