<p>Do laptops get stolen in college often?</p>
<p>just keep your door locked.</p>
<p>It depends on how you care for your laptop and how sketchy your college is. I have my eye on mine at all times when I'm not in my dorm room, and our dorms are pretty safe. Plus, my college isn't that sketchy.</p>

<p>it really does all depend on your college. i swear i locked my door maybe 5 times last semester... and i'm typing on my laptop right now :) but next year i think i will be more careful. (i'm transferring)</p>
<p>the professor was bluffing... he was quoted later saying it was just a tactic to get the kid to fess up</p>
