We see these signs everywhere right? I admit, there are times when this sign is the furthest thing from my mind. Especially, if I’m just running into the corner store for something. I think, “Hey I’ll be back in like two minutes. What can possible happen that fast?”
The answer: A lot!!!
When you’re out and about make sure your devices are with you, completely hidden and you lock your car door. By completely hidden, I mean in your trunk, before you get to your destination. It’s no good to pull up to a parking lot and throw your laptop, tablet, phone etc into the trunk…where prying eyes can see.
Locking it isn’t just about your car. If you’re in the office, local coffee shop or friend’s house be sure to lock your screen. A quick ctrl-alt-del will keep others out of your business until you’re back. Well, if you’re in a coffee shop please don’t leave your computer on the table unless it’s physically locked down but that’s another topic for another time.
