I'm pretty protective of my laptop by not leaving it alone, but one thing that I do is ensure my laptop is not too desirable to thieves. I have a half-dozen stickers on the back, primarily as a theft deterrent (they make a good conversation starter, too). I'm actually deterred from buying a new laptop because I've put several years of effort into abusing my machine to the point that it's cosmetically not worth selling.
