You can usually go in empty handed first and ask if it’s ok for you to bring in just your laptop to see if a usb drive works, and then go get it with minimal other stuff for them to be suspicious about.
Then when you try to leave they'll tackle you for 'stealing' a laptop.
That’s one reason to talk to them and ask permission first, avoiding that kind of drama.
