Even if the laptop requires a password to log in, Ophcrack can usually read most Windows login passwords. I've tried it (on request, of course) for XP, not sure about Windows 7.

Well Philip, if your laptop does not require a password when it starts, and your browser is set to remember the passwords to websites like your email accounts (automatic login), then you begin to see the picture. Once the person is logged into your email account, they can do plenty of damage. This is serious stuff. I wonder if there is a way of engaging Google to rectify this? Especially with the local office?
