My husband is a computer specialist and works for a state university.  In order to visit him at work I have to park my car about 10 miles away (ok, not that far) and march my happy self across the campus to get to his office.  I was doing just that yesterday afternoon and as I walked through the campus library (my favorite short cut) I noticed at least 6 laptops that were completely unattended.

I couldn’t believe it.  When I was in college I couldn’t afford my own laptop and was forced to borrow from the library.  So, I can’t imagine having my own laptop and leave it sitting at a table by itself.  I mean REALLY?  I realize I don’t live in Crime Central or anything but anyone with itchy fingers could have easily walked away with these laptops.

Not only did I see laptops sitting alone but in some cases these students had also left their iPods and cell phones sitting there.  I couldn’t believe it.  I drooled and saved up for months in order to buy my laptop and iPods and these people were trying to give them away!

Now I won’t sit here and pretend that I’ve never accidentally walked away from my prized possessions but I would never do it on purpose…at least I have my electronic insurance with Worth Ave Group.  Besides covering accidental damage, fire and flood, my WAG policy covers theft.  I hope those students had some kind of insurance because it’s only a matter of time…
