A password won't really help you not get your laptop stolen... Do you think the theif is gonna bring it back when he can't figure out how to reinstall an OS?
Or get a shocking electric module (similar to an electric fence or stun gun) from information unlimited, 20KV+ preferred and make a small wire perimeter around your laptop and teach them a lesson the won't soon forget.
@rspeedCorrect me if I'm wrong, but I beg to differ. :0 If you backup the encrypted disk image; that and your password are all you should need to unencrypted it. :)- on second thought, perhaps that's not the point you're trying to make, but I think my point is worth being noted too. :)

Get "Undercover" from Orbicule Software. It is a nifty little phone home security utility that provides excelent piece of mind, and now has iSight support to take pictures of the new owner.<a class="user" href="http://orbicule.com/undercover/">http://orbicule.com/undercover/</a>
