It's the data that's the problem,
and hardly any small companies insure for data loss.

Then he also needs a firm and foolproof data backup policy.

I am now setting up automatic back up to Dropbox. We don't have insurance for data loss but I am going to look into it.

And the excess on small company (or large company, for that matter)
business insurance is "considerably more than a laptop" - it was £5K at my last company and it's £10K at the Uni I work at.

It's not the laptop he needs
But the client data on it.

I say you hire some freelance secret agents!

Hold on, are you saying it's the data he needs, not the hardware?

So, you've worked with the guy for 9 months.
If you can't contact him, what else do you know about him? Where's his local pub. Family? Met his other half? Think, man, THINK!

He was living in a small village near East Grinstead, is divorced with an ex-wife in Putney, has no girlfriend and is estranged from his family. His best mate is the editor of a tabloid newspaper and thats about all I know.
He's a bit of a dullard so I tended to switch off on the rare occasions he mentioned anything personal.
