Star's Laptop lost in the City

Kim Cattrall - Sex in the City StarSex In The City star Kim Cattrall was so grateful for the return of her lost lap top that she gave the cabbie who returned it $10,000. A powerful demonstration of how valuable such data is if ever there was one, and a equally graphic example of the trust worthyness of the average cab driver; in this case in New York. It is widely reckoned that of the several thousand laptops that go missing in London's cabs each year over 90% of them are returned to their owners.
It's the other 10% or so we're worried about, and there is no excuse not to include some form or encryption and strong authentication such as SafeGuard Easy in you standard lap-top build.
This will not get your data back should you loose the PC, but it will stop it falling into the wrong hands!
