Yes. They range the streets of most cities, armed with various mechanical aids for getting the thing open and taking them with impunity. They are called "thieves".

Seriously, there is a glut of laptops in the UK at present, and the retail prices have dropped substantially. Thieves are taking unattended satellite navigation systems instead.

I am told the military has such devices available, but they are not for sale to the public currently.
