THEFT
Two types of computer theft:

1) Computer is used to steal money, goods, information and resources.

Three approaches to prevent theft:

1) Prevent access by using locks, smart-card or password
2) Prevent portability by restricting the hardware from being moved
3) Detect and guard all exits and record any hardware transported
