I started a new job recently so can talk about both my current employer and the previous one.
At my previous employer it was company policy to take the laptop home with you, this was because there was a moderate earthquake a couple of years ago and then a storm a week later which prevented a lot of staff making it in to the office on those days, and therefore working. So the policy of taking the laptop home was based on business continuity and productivity.
At my current employer things are a bit more relaxed, most do take the laptop home at the end of the day but its not mandatory. I don't take it home during the week mostly because its so damn HEAVY in the backpack. I know however I will get caught out one day - there will be some unexpected problem affecting the trains and I will not be able to get in to work - guess I will have to use up some annual leave on that day :)
