Mainly thinking about mobile devices here.

I don't know about you but I use my phone for all sorts. And if found it would contain a lot of sensitive data.

Instant Email access (password reset and find logins)
Websites still logged in (facebook etc)
Important documents (these could also be contained within attachments in sent / recieved folder)
Contacts. I have a lot of contacts that would be quite valuable to some people.
Photos and Videos

I use an iphone but this applies to all devices.

I had that sick to the stomach feeling recently when I went to sit down with a coffee with someone and my first instinct is to reach for my phone but I couldn't find it. Panic set in and it wasn't until 10 minutes later I realised it was in my jacket pocket which was safely secured in a locker.

Of course it could be your laptop as well. If someone broke into your house could they access all your sensitive data?

I know how important it is but I don't even do the basics.

My home laptop isn't password protected and I use to have a 4 digit PIN on my phone but abandoned it. How secure is this anyway?

Thoughts?
