Discipline when on the move

The only protection against being careless is more care and discipline – but that is difficult when you are under time pressure. A survey of the lost and found offices in the German cities of Berlin, Frankfurt, Hamburg, and Munich found that more than 25 notebooks were turned in to them in the first half of 2004 alone. This might sound obvious, but if you travel with a notebook, you should always make sure that you really have the notebook case, including all of its contents, over your shoulder before you leave the plane, taxi, or train.
