Having something rammed down your neck like you're a 10 year old never really helps. Being a victim helps people remember the basic things. Have a couple of people walking around placing stickers on laptops that are unattended. When the owner returns they'll see a sticker saying something along the lines of "your laptop has been stolen", and they'll quickly feel foolish for dropping their guard.

That sticker solution is much more '10 year old' than a general warning to watch out for your own stuff. It gamifies the situation, rather than being direct about it.
