My girlfriend's dad lent/gave me his old one which he never uses, but unfortunately there was no magnet. It was $5 for a new magnet from a LBS. I can imagine that if someone were to steal just the computer, they would have to shell out even more because they'd need a replacement base and sensor. That would cost more than a brand new computer!
Cateye for one certainly sell base+sensor+magnet kits for way less than the full pack. Plus I have a horrible hunch that otherwise perfectly honest people who lose or damage their computer or have it stolen will nick a matching one from a parked bike... Too easy target.
