I think that you do.. This would piss me off to no end.. It sounds like it is
about time to get a big chain and a lock and keep it locked to sometthing when
you aren't using it.  Hmmm maybe the next hp will have a nice loop molded into
the case, reinforced with steel, so that you can lock up your hp.  
Was just thinking about what I have spent in the direction my hp48sx.
$300 hp48sx
$149 128K RAM card
$19  Donnelly Handbook
$10 Materials for 5 serial cables.
That puts it at $473 (only two cables) dollars that I carry in my pack worth of 
Calculator shit. Of course, I have a hp28s and a hp22s too, but that is 
beside the point.  I have spent some time trying to figure out what one 
can do to make someone not want to steal your calc and I can't really think of
anything less than maybe a motion sensor and/or electric shocker.. ;)
...... Hmm nice calculator.. nobody looking.... ZAAAAPPPP!!!!... clunk.
The questios is what do you do with them when you find them passed out.
Ah well.  Hope you don't keep setting records.
