You think it's only on the road, well guess what, it's 24/7. Let your battery run out in the evening and relax.
My brother is a hockey coach for his son's team.
He had his Blackberry on his belt and was hit with a slap shot during practice.
The soft case didn't help the PDA, but the BB saved him from a nasty bruise.
He got a new BB and a hard aluminum case for it.

I left my BB on top of my car and ran over it, is that covered???
Umm... Yeah, under "I'm an idiot"

When mobile (Cell) phones were a novelty I followed a car for about ten miles along a road in Sussex, trying to work out what the object on the roof was. When we turned a sharp corner it flew off and shattered against a stone wall. It was one of those enormous 80s phones. I'm still impressed that it stayed on as long as it did.
The weight of the phone and strength of the magnets were probably keeping it well glued to the roof, only a good 2-3 G turn was going to shake it loose.
I once found a Dell laptop in the middle of the street. Same thing must have happened to the user, a travelling nurse for a home visit service, as heppened to you. On the car roof, etc.
It wasn't damaged to much, just a few scratches and it worked but was secured.
That is a change from the norn. Usually you hear of missing laptops with list of clients / patienst and SSNs etc.
There were enough ID / proprty stickers on it that I found the company that owned it and returned it.

I do keep my PDA in my shirt pocket, but it comes with a nice case that had a magnet retaining strap. I just hook the strap over the packet and presto!; PDA does not pop out of the pocket.
I also removed the belt clip to make it more pocket friendly.

Wise advice from the 'sage' of the mobile tech world. Especially liked the one about "turn it off"...such a novel idea!!!
All it takes is a little reciprocation to help them get the point. Make a few calls to THEIR company-issued phone at random times - especially when they are on vacation and in the middle of the night when you get up after a noise.
If the problem persists, draw up a "fair use" policy and have the company CEO sign it and make it part of company policy. As long as it applies to all cell phones, everyone has the same rules.
PS - if you have a boss that insists that you are still on-the-clock after leaving work, tell them to their face that you need time away from work when you leave. If they can't respect that, you need a new boss.

It is illegal to drive and use a mobile device like this so the point is invalid - how would not know?
NO, it is not "illegal to drive and use a mobile device" -- different areas have different laws (or none at all) about using mobile devices, but I have yet to see or hear of anywhere that completely bans all mobile use of all mobile devices.
Throughout the United States (where your Tennessee is located, for example) many states and cities ban cell phone use UNLESS you are using a 'hands free' device (such as a speakerphone or headset). Some of these laws are written very broadly in an effort to make sure they cover texting and gaming on cellphones etc, but all include numerous exemptions.
Also, all the legal bans apply only to the driver -- so there are no bans when riding with someone else driving, including riding in a taxi, train, bus, etc.
