I came here to see if someone said this. Maybe use one of [these](RUBAN Notebook Lock and Security Cable (PC/Laptop) Two Keys 6.2 foot (Black) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00WJHQFLU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_HQ1BCbZC1V460). They come in both lock and key and combination lock styles. Though in your situation I would suggest the key which you could keep with you at all times.
Yep. Laptop thefts are crimes of opportunity. Someone smarter (and probably less ethical...) than OP saw their laptop sitting unattended and took it. Any cable lock at all, like the first result from Amazon, would have prevented it.
The rest of the advice in the infographic is ok - always encrypt/password protect, have backups, etc - but they won't actually prevent your shit from getting stolen.
The best way to prevent that is to always be aware of your surroundings and don't let your stuff out of your sight. If you have to leave your stuff unattended, lock it up. Preferably in view of a security camera.
I find it hard to sympathize with people who leave their laptop sitting at a table and find it missing when they return from the restroom, but it's a mistake that most people will only make once.
