[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1788903, member: 46727"] If a smart thief stole your Mini when it was turned on and running, then your encrypted data would no longer be protected, however, the encrypted folder would still be protected as long as it wasn't already open. But I think you know that. If the machine is turned off and just sitting on your desk or in your unattended office, it would be reasonably safe. You might wish to also add a firmware password to give further protection if your Mini contains sensitive data. You can read up on what a [URL="https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204455"]firmware password[/URL] does by going to the Apple KB. [/QUOTE]
