Power Trip.

Had something similar when I worked for CA.

Group EVP was going to meet a customer and I was loading a demo onto his laptop.

He's running late so I tell him go get your car I'll meet you out front.

It's 5pm so there is a swarm of people leaving the building.

I have the laptop open making a couple of last second tweaks as I'm walking out.

I hear someone going "Hey, Hey" but don't pay attention since there are 100 people around me and i'm kind of concentrating.

Hand off laptop to EVP and come back into the building.

Some security guard starts yelling at me, "Hey I was calling you, when I call you then you stop"

"sorry, did not realize you where speaking to me. What's the problem"

"You can't leave the building with a laptop out in the open like that. It needs to be in your briefcase."

"Why?"

"To prevent theft!"
