I am surprised at posters on this thread saying that they carry around sensitive information on laptops that they are worried about being stolen. Where I work we all have encrypted drives and two-factor authentication to open the encrypted drives. It seems negligent on your (or your employers) part to not have these kinds of safeguards. The need to carry around on, your person, equipment at all times is a silly solution.
