Reckon they'd immediately block this laptop's MAC address after it gets reported stolen? If not, that's reason enough to steal it - clone the MAC address and plug in your own device which is now whitelisted. Of course this isn't enough on its own and you likely need some compromised credentials too.

Probably would remove it as soon as its reported yes. Even if they didn't you would still have to take the device back in the building to that same exact port to connect.
