To be honest, there're many ignorant people who would try to steal a laptop. Many wouldn't know what the CMOS battery is. *I* don't know what it is =P So, I'm doubting many low life criminals who would steal a laptop knows what to do to remove a BIOS password.
I assigned one. I was rather displeased at how my password could only be like 8 characters long, but it works.
