You also need someone to be put forward to be arrested though, and I can't imagine that you'll get many volunteers

Someone, eventually, is going to end up in big trouble over this. *munches popcorn*

Fairly sure the mods/Admins automatically volunteer for stuff like that as part of the job description

A Kensington lock costs pennies compared to the machines. That is why they are used...

The machines ... went missing from the Razer Press room about 4pm PST on Sunday, 8th January ...
That's basically right at the end of show/start of take-down, so they were probably packed/cased ready for shipping, rather than on display, when stolen, and having a kensington lock would've solved nothing. Which is pretty much what I inferred from an earlier story where CES organisers made a rather curious comment about not allowing contractors on site for take-down until an hour after the show closes...

Ha ha, definitely! Would love a quick review video in his style. I'm not too sure how I feel about a laptop with 3 screens though...

Supported by the fact the video above shows at least one of the two was inside a locked glass display cabinet. Even if nicking the demonstration one would have been easy, the other would have had to have been taken out of the display cabinet first.

You can defeat a Kensington lock with a small piece of rolled up card. Youtube it.

You can defeat a glass cabinet with a fist, doesn't mean anyone's going to do it in the middle of a CES showroom without getting caught :-P
Re: Stolen Razer Project Valerie appears on Chinese auction site
Why would you put a Kensington lock on the a thing that you planned to get stolen?
