Belkin USB Laptop Alarm Eliminates Theft, One Decibel at a Time

Got a potential laptop theft problem (and really, who doesn't)? You'll need some sort of lock – a solid piece of steel with a rubber-wrapped steel cable that'll foil a potential thief long enough for you to come back, interrupt their deviltry and brain them over the head with a metal pipe. Of course, if you're away from your computer for a while and someone particularly stealthy and resourceful breaks in, a lock may not be enough: you'll need an alarm, too, or so Belkin would like you to believe. Their F5L013 USB Laptop Security Alarm breaks the standard lock mold by basing their security system around what appears to be a solid lock-like base with an alarm system and a USB cable. Cut or disconnect the USB cable and the alarm goes off until you insert a key into the base.
