Now I'm imagining a laptop with a suction base that "sucks down" onto the table and won't let go until you login.

There used to be a Mac program for this situation ("There's an app for that!", right?)

You start the program and it counts down from 10. At zero it disables sleep, and displays a warning screen stating that the computer is alarmed and should not be moved by anyone but the owner.

When the owner returns, he enters a password to end the program.

If anyone tries to move the computer in his absence, the vibration sensor triggers a screeching alarm.

If your laptop has a Kensington lock slot you can lock it with a cable that wraps around a table leg.
