Have You Ever Left Your Laptop Elsewhere?

I’m seriously baffled by this blog post shared by Rico over at The Gadget Blog.
According to a study commissioned by Dell last year, over 12,000 people misplace their laptops at US airport, per week. That adds up to approximately 624,000 incidents a year! – The Gadget Blog
Really. I’m in shock.
How can someone leave their laptops behind? I understand forgetting your mobile phone or your iPod, but a laptop?! It’s not exactly a tiny little thing. Maybe forgetting a netbook is slightly acceptable (take note: slightly!) but STILL!
A laptop is a laptop! How can you forget something that cost around thousands of dollars? I would probably die if I forget my laptop elsewhere.
But then, that’s unlikely to happen as it is the first thing I will take with me, if natural calamity strikes and I have to rush out of a room.

Honestly, if I was all alone and my phone and wallet were in my pocket, my laptop would be the first thing to grab as I rush out of the fire!
Me, too! Hahaha
When my old condo building had a fire and we had to evacuate, I took my wallet, cellphone, laptop and dog with me.
Jammed everything (except the dog) in my laptop bag. Hehe.
