Anti-Theft lock for keyboards?

I just found out that laptops have a built-in socket for a wire lock to prevent theft. Is there anything like this for keyboards?
The Kross will be easy to secure, I can loop a bike lock around the handle, but what about synths (such as the Minilogue) which don't have handles?

there are a few synth that support the anti-theft lock. off the top of my head i think akai has been putting them on instruments. The new mpcs and the rhythm wolf both have the socket for the kensington style laptop lock

Native Instruments keyboards also have this feature, but I'm not sure about any KORG's.

It's called a Kensington lock. You may be able to find more info using that term.

Best advice: Insure it.

Kensington locks are not designed to be an impervious protection measure. Because most computer equipment cases are generally made of plastic or thin metal, the lock can be torn out, though not without doing significant visible damage to the case.
