Do you really trust your roommate? Let's face it - your roommate is nice enough. Seems trustworthy. Only eats his food, and doesn't touch your stuff. But do you really trust him with everything? Would you trust him with your wallet? Your phone? Your laptop? That laptop is your entire life!
It's got all your papers on it, your music - maybe even pictures of you and your girlfriend at Spring Break! You know... those pictures. You might think that a cable-lock would be adequate to secure your laptop, but not only can those things just be clipped off with a cheap bolt-cutter, someone can still turn on and use your laptop without even removing it! No - that's not really security.
What you need is some serious armor. Something that can lock your lappy down, keeping it physically safe from pilfering hands, as well as potential data-thieves. What we found is so simple and yet totally ingenious. A big metal box with a lock simple, that bolts to your dorm-furniture from the inside ingenious! With the lid closed and locked, the wing-nuts that hold the vault in place get locked in with your valuables.
It's one of those "gah, I wish I had thought of that" things. Big enough to hold a 17" laptop and accessories, you could even put a portable drive or two in there, your phone - even your wallet if you were so inclined. Now you don't have to worry about whether or not your roommate is trustworthy. As they say, good locks make good neighbors. Or, is that fences? Doesn't matter - it still applies!
