couple of laptop lock cables ($13 ea.) to keep them from wandering
off next time they are replaced? Or were those already in use and
cut through?

<div>I just joined Noisebridge, and I love that it is a very open
and trusting place. However, I think there are a few
inexpensive precautions that could be implemented that wouldn't
be seen as unfriendly, just as assuring that general-use items
will be there when someone needs them.<br>

The fact is, if it's valuable and on a member shelf ..
these days<br>
there's a good chance it's gone.<br>

I thought about bringing one of those plastic storage bins
with a<br>
lockable top and putting it on my shelf space. I'm still
thinking<br>
about that solution.<br>
