Video and sensor logs are definitely great when available, but there are plenty of companies without such precautions, besides the home user who seldom has them. It is tricky to seal/mark a case in some way that an intruder could not falsify.

I agree both of these are good measures, but neither amounts to verifying the physical security of the hardware.

Every computer centre has a alarm system for physical intruders - a check of videos and sensor logs can give you surety. You can mark your hardware additionally with - I don't know the english word - signs(?) which breaks if someone manpipulates your hardware.
