Reminds me of the old joke where the system administrators were puzzled that their servers went down almost every night at around 12mn and restarted 30 minutes after. Turns out, the janitor had to unplug the servers to plug in the vacuum during that time.:)

My thoughts as well. If you were provided a laptop, it means that you'll be needing it any time of the day and you'll have to bring it with you whenever you leave the office. If this isn't the case, you should request for a desktop/tower. This justifies the reason for leaving it in the office. Surely you have something like a security guard that checks items/hardware that goes in/out of the office, so somebody stealing a desktop/tower would be too obvious.
Cable locks are only effective when you leave your laptop during the day, like when you go out for lunch/snacks. Nobody would dare cut your cables in broad daylight.
OTOH, they're actually thinking of bringing Protoss technology to Mars -- some pylons to power those datacenters and some zealots and photon cannons to guard against zergling-rush attacks against your precious servers. Creates a whole new meaning to real-time strategy, so I guess you won't miss Starcraft that much.
