They also make ones that give off an audible alarm when the lock is broken. We used to use those at the university, seemed to add a nice additional layer of security. I don't remember the name sorry.... Cheers, Paul Jack Daniel wrote:
Cable and case locks are far from perfect, but they can help. One of the car dealers I used to support had some theft issues (hard to believe, I know), I installed cable locks (which also half-assed locked the cases) and it was enough to stop the problems they were having. As with any security issue, the determined attacker will always win, but the show of adding a lock not only adds a little security, it displays an awareness of a problem and sends the message to anyone paying attention that there is/was a problem. A little bit of awareness might trickle into the brains of the end-users, and that might make the needed difference. Jack
