Depends whether you're asked for password to get back to normal
operation.

Another option you may consider is to run your laptop from USB stick.
Once the USB stick is removed, then your laptop is just a hardware.
Again, if your thief steals your USB stick along with laptop...

Of course, this reminds me... don't use thumbprint bio security.
They'll just steal your thumbs.
