Theres a few things you can do technology wise:

Cell Phones/Blackberrys: If you have GSM phone, set a SIM PIN. If someone tries to turn on your phone, they will be prompted for the PIN and wont be able to do anything else without it. If the PIN is incorrectly entered three times, the phone will ask for a code that only your provider knows.

Laptops: Set a password in the BIOS (be sure to clear it with your boss/IT first). If someone tries to turn your computer on, they will be immdiately prompted for it... the computer wont boot into anything untill its entered. Encrypt all of your sensitive data with an algorithm like AES and back everything up on a USB drive.
