The devious folks at our labs secure mice by means of a cable and a washer.
The inner diameter of the washer is just large enough for the din-8 plug
to pass through.  Once the washer is on the mouse cord, you can thread
a steel cable through the hole.  The cable makes it impossible to remove
the din-8 plug from the washer.

Of course, one could always cut the mouse cord or disassemble the mouse,
but it will at least deter the casual thief.
