Lock for macbook pro retina?

Has anyone found success with a lock for the MacBook Pro Retina? The MacLocks one seems to be the best solution but isn't it easy for someone to steal it just by unscrewing the lock base from the computer?

Yes, I did check with Apple online. And I went to both Apple stores near me.

The Apple store reps said that there is no Apple security lock for the Retina. The MacLocks Retina lock plate is the only thing available and anyone with a star-shaped screwdriver can easily unscrew the plate from the computer (MacLocks said that the screws are not the more common Phillips head and that the star shape is more secure).

My quote from Safeware:


Your total policy cost for 1 Year of coverage is $171.00


Apple could of designed a lock to work with the MBPro(r). The most logical explaination is they don't care if your product gets stolen. Last Apple laptop I ever get that is for sure. They really have some great marketing but terrible customer service for such a large compay. I have also heard they can't do hardly anything to help you track down your laptop once it is stolen as in logs of updates and what not. That is just not cool.
