a question for people who set up their "office" in a coffee shop

What do you do with your computer when you have to use the bathroom?

Working from home is hard for me, mostly because I'm alone all day and it's harder to stay focused on the task at hand (especially when you're not a very "task oriented" person to begin with).

I love going to coffee shops to work, but I also love coffee, which means I drink quite a few cups of coffee while I'm there and inevitably need to use the bathroom. But do you pack everything up and carry your computer with you to the toilet? Or do you just let everything lay there and hope no one walks away with your iBook? I mean really friends, these are the big questions that keep me awake at night (please note the sarcasm).

Ok. But really. That's a reason I don't go to coffee shops currently because I'm thinking I'm the only person that's paranoid that someone will walk away with my computer while I'm dealing with the consequences of drinking a lot of coffee.

I would appreciate your comments, thoughts, musings, etc. on the issue. Many thanks.
