free standing computer ("gee, I wonder how much this [insert

I was being entertained last night by stories from a university librarian who couldn't be sure that the projection units built into the roof of some lecture rooms would be there. They were being stolen from the roof in the time between the librarians opening the room and setting up the materials and the arrival of the lecturer. They've lost five so far, A$10,000 each.
