Obviously. One of our interns last year, it happened to him. Even went on Craigslist to offer a reward. He learned his lesson the hard way. In this one, ever heard of back-up drives? I do this every week.
About ten years ago, an HR guy left his laptop in the trunk of his car while he had drinks with buddies. It was stolen. Guy was fired. Company provided all employees with credit monitoring service for a couple of years.
A guy who worked for me about 20 years ago was staying in a downtown Washington DC hotel. Left is bags on the sidewalk for a moment while he turned to talk to the doorman or concierge. Turned around and his laptop bag and all contents were gone. He didn’t spot anybody with the bag nearby. Only took a few seconds.
I learned my lessons from those events.
These days, you encrypt the entire hard drive, set up the tech to wipe it if too many wrong passwords are used, set up the “Find My XXX” utility to trace it, and always back it up to the cloud or a thumb drive. Of course, it is very easy to lose the thumb drive, so make sure that backup is encrypted, too. And don’t write your password on your laptop or backup thumb drive.
