Personally, the loss of the laptop is almost inconsequential. Yes, it's a few hundred pounds out of the public purse, but you could recover that by fining some of the big businesses that run millions of pounds over budget on Government contracts - now that would make the headlines wouldn't it:
"Thousands of Jobs at Risk as Government Penalises UK Industry.
Anyway, it's not the asset that's the issue here, it's the information that it contained.

That's true of course - but where an attitude of sloppiness is allowed to prevail it's only a matter of time before something goes badly wrong. MRSA and the like have been allowed to take hold of our hospitals due to sloppy cleaning and basic hygiene practices and at what cost?
