My boss encrypts nothing and leaves all of the machines switched on overnight, every night.
We got burgled once and someone made off with some postcards and £5 in loose change, overlooking access to a vast trove of customers highly exposing personal, financial, medical and legal documents that has never been purged for over a decade.

Especially something that can be anonymised and moved quickly. For all they know, the computers are heavy/locked down, and may be tracked.
