Depends what you mean. Colt supply the rack, we fill it with kit.

You'd be wrong, for Colt at least -- are you listening, Harry? :-)
I've walked out with a 1U server under my arm on numerous occasions
and no one's batted an eyelid. In fact, most of the time, there's no
one on the front desk to be batting an eyelid in the first place. Of
course, the security is reasonably strict to be able to get into the
datacentre in the first place, but it's not insurmountable if you're
really determined. BTW, it's not just the locks on our racks that are
broken, it's the locks on *every* rack.
