Yes, you can use items to avoid the sound, however, the average thief will not know this, all they will see is a laptop on the table.

There is now way to protect yourself from everything, the point is to add hoops any would-be thief will need to jump through in order to get away with your laptop.

You raise a interesting point there Shmeckle, just a clipped plug, interesting. Too bad that can’t be by-passed to have no effect. Just a plug would be easy to hide in a would be theifs shirt pocket.

The hell with the headphones, what if someone simply used a headphone plug that has the cord cut? NO sound at all then!
What about that idea folks, JUST the headphones plug, no headphones needed!

From the warning you have about headphones for Laptop Alarm, it sounds like a thief could simply plug their own headphones into your audio jack to prevent the sound from blaring out over the speakers. And if the headphones had a volume control on them, the sound could be muted entirely…?
