I've read some stupid questions on this site before but this one takes the biscuit.

Why is it so stupid? If there are cameras and you go for 1 minute its not that high risk. Specially if someone is there to watch it. Take a photo of them even.

 

Your response was stupid.

Like asking is it safe to leave a handbag/ backpack in a car. No it is not. 
And you can’t trust that the security camera actually works. 

Ive never had items stolen from rooms in 20 years. Laptops and tablets could be stolen by cleaners.

How could anyone possible answer the question ?

How could anyone know whether a thief would walk by at the time ?

    If they cannot find the red bull heir , what makes you think that they could find a thief and if they catch the thief, he would just get a 500 Baht fine and a Wai , some one might need a computer to find out how to cure their sick buffalo

Op really it is never safe to leave anything unattended.

 

There is a risk no matter where you leave anything.  

 

Would you leave your phone on the table.

 

If it is new then it is tempting if it is ???? it goes up in value.

 

If iphone color it gone

Whoop!...there it is.

 

Keeping in mind that at any one time in this enchanted kingdom, 73% of CCTV cameras are either misconfigured, disconnected or broken, 18% aren't being monitored or recorded and the remaining 9% aren't pointing in the right direction anyway, who's being stupid?

In Japan it would be 99.9% fine, everywhere else (I know of), why tempt someone?

Having said that a few times in Airports before boarding I have left my MBP unattended.

I sometimes ask someone near (or staff) "please watch that for me please, back soon". Sometimes I don't coz if stolen, will be seen when boarding etc so very safe once you are past immigration. 

 

Remember, if you need to steal a laptop you are not very smart, and not thinking about cameras, they are thinking of the Meth the can get for it.

Dear all,

 

Some condominium have a common/ study room.

Is it safe to leave a laptop for a while in a condominium common ( study ) room? The reasons are, for example, going to toilet, or you forget to take your laptop with you.

Will someone steal it? How about CCTV?

Thanks

Do you feel lucky?

When I used the library internet, I had a very old laptop with nothing of importance on it. Had someone nicked it they were not getting much.
