A desktop is quite a big thing for someone to try to steal. They would have to carry it away without people noticing and remembering later, they’d have to have somewhere to put it where people wouldn’t notice its sudden appearance, etc. Mostly the expensive things that get stolen are small things- laptops, ipods, cameras, money, that can be more easily hidden.

If you are worried, you can get all kinds of locks that will secure your computer to your desk, and you can have it marked or engraved with your details.
