We have a "do as you need" mentality at my workplace, although it is implied that you will have your laptop at home just in case something happens. Often I see others who are very focused on tasks, and they can be found online at all hours. I at times feel like I have a solution to something that has bothered me, or I suddenly feel like I can tackle some task that has been on my todo list and having my laptop at home allows me to just scratch that itch and complete one more task. Overall security is the main reason I, and my company, encourages people to bring them home. Laptops are small, easily seen and put into a bag, so even a small lapse in security (and I have seen them) can result in many laptops suddenly missing in a short time.
