[Year 12 IPM] lost laptop

[Andrew Shortell]

Hi Diane

Comprehensive car insurance -- was the laptop locked in the boot out of
sight (DEET used to not approve of hatchbacks for the transport of
laptops because they could be seen)
House insurance - many (but not all) cover personal valuables lost from
cars --
School insurance for material loaned to teachers ---

If none of the above apply:  the school should wear the loss and
implement a policy immediately so that next time there is no problem
about who to blame

(personally I blame the thief) 

Good luck

Hello everyone
Thanks for the discussion on Audacity - wow, what a topical issue!

I have another question that's off topic:  Does anyone know what their
school policy is regarding the loss of school-issued laptops? We are an
independent school and there is a lot of discussion going on currently
because one of our staff members had her laptop in her car which was
burgled.

Does anyone have a definite policy that they impose? ... Pleeeeeeese!!!

Thanks
