Most people at NBS, or reading Sun-Spots, perhaps; most potential thieves,
no.  The days when anyone with his own computer could be relied on to be a
competent (or even incompetent) hardware basher are long gone.  It's very
hard to stop theft by someone who is beyond the screwdrivers-only level of
tool use, but fortunately such people are a small minority.
