Re: What to do about a theft problem?
We've had a problem at De Anza, also. Our $3000 Vaio laptop disappeared two weeks ago (during a robotics session), and on it our full inventor plans for the robot. Fortunately we had enough progress on the robot that we didn't really need the plans anymore, but there went our hopes for an Inventor Award submission.

We did a full investigation through the school administration. Some kids have stopped coming to robotics since then...perhaps they were responsible? Who knows.

We've talked about putting web cams around the room, but so far we have not taken any specific actions.

It really bites that we have to even have this conversation.

Good luck,

Eric.
