Keep the purse besides you. There's usually some sort of railing on the walls or some such thing. If not, stick the purse right on top of the toilet paper dispenser.

That works nicely. As for your laptop...well, not much you can do about it other than disguising the fact that you DO have a laptop as much as possible.

That, and making sure you have some other means of tracking it besides the Lojack software.

Best thing is to put laptop on your lap when in bathroom that way you can continue posting and doing your business at same time and then u can truely claim to be able to multitask lol.

Ew, Kheelan! That's not cool at all. Plus, by the time you open your laptop and all, you're done anyway.

And I think I will research that, Eric. Thanks.

Sometimes I do set my purse on top of the toilet paper thing. I'll just have to hold my laptop handle or something.

Bathrooms are like a theivery paradise. This one time, I was sitting on the pot, doing my thing. Which happened to be a number two, because that's the only reason guys every sit on the pot--or should be. This is probably a case of too much information already. Anyways, so I was sitting there, in a public stall with toilet paper protecting me and whatever anal diseases the john's previous users had. I figured, I was pretty much safe. WRONG.

Some idiot decided that it was the perfect time to steal my jeans. I mean, who steals JEANS?? Well, I suppose my wallet could have been in them or perhaps my nonexistant car keys. They weren't, but I really liked those jeans. However after I saw the first hand on my jeans, I knew I could do nothing about it except forfit my garmet to the rogue. Later, I walked out wearing my boxers (which, by a twist of fate, were somehow not stolen as well) to the expecting glee of my friends. Those bastards. So, that concludes my tale of bathroom woes.

As for regarding laptops, I accidently kicked mine off my bed about a week ago. Coincidentally, it was also an Acer. Now it's a malfunctioning Acer, because somebody smart decided building 5 feet elevated dorm beds was an awesome idea. WRONG. That's my life in a nutshell.
