What's even more amazing for me is when people ask complete strangers to watch their things while they go somewhere for a while as if asking someone means that they are no longer just as likely to take your things themselves. I can't tell you the number of times I've seen people do that.Absolutely. Our school has a whole program called "Security Tracking of Office Property" which will give you a badge to put on your notebooks with a bar code linked to a database. If the thief takes the badge off, a "chemically bonded tattoo" is left on the notebook with the words "stolen property" so that it is harder to sell. I'm not sure this would deter someone from stealing it but I think it goes to show that theft of notebooks is an issue.</blockquote>
