My colleagues will be amongst the first to tell you
that I'm a bit jackboot in my approach to these things. In response, I'd say screw the staff, it's my job to protect the company's business, not their feelings.

Which is why I'm in a monolithic corporation, of course.

I don't think you're wrong.
But in a company of 20-30 people, most of whom had PhDs, sometimes maintaining a pleasant working environment is more important than the occasional disappearing laptop ;)

I guess that would depend
on what's potentially on the laptop :P
