There is also the simple expedient of using a USB drive (thumb or disk, depending on need of course) for the secure/proprietary data, and taking the drive with you or otherwise locking it up when not in active use.

The laptop itself can be stolen without losing the data, and if it's encrypted then stealing the drive isn't going to do any good. Just don't store them together.
