A Woman Fights Off a Laptop Thief, and Wins
BERLIN, GERMANY - SEPTEMBER 20: Students study with their laptop computers in the Pedagogical Library at the Freie Universitaet university on September 20, 2011 in Berlin, Germany. German universities recorded a record 2.218 million matriculations in the 2010/2011 winter semester, a rise of 4.5%, and expect even more students in the coming winter semster, which starts in October. The end of compulsory military service in the Bundeswehr, the German armed forces, which went into effect earlier this year, is a major contributing factor to the rise in the numbers of students arriving at universities across the country.

This video could be an advertisement for those laptop locks. A woman is sitting at a bar in a restaurant and working on her laptop . . . when a thief runs in the door and grabs her computer. But she latches onto the power cord and won’t let go.
The cord is attached to a laptop lock, so she and the thief are in a tug of war until he gives up. Then some other customers help chase him away.
