[SmokeyGTi]

sorry that he lost it but that was really stupid of him to leave it in full sight.

you don't EVER leave a laptop (even if it in a bag) in full sight in any mall carpark.

Might as well write it off, chances of getting it back are slim considering the investigative capabilities of the popo.

....for future reference:

Some of the late model Laptops (and Desktops) come equipped with a 'tracking option' you could enable (and not disable) in the BIOS in the event the unit gets stolen. You notify the vendor and a tracking company could find and disable the unit (and in some REMOTE cases even locate the machine) if it's plugged in to an internet connection. Never tested it, so I can't offer more details than that.

BUT

Encryption software, like 'TrueCrypt' can help protect your data in the event of a theft. It's free and they use some pretty good encryption algorithms so the bandit can't get into your business.

Happened to me last year at Emperor Valley Zoo - I kid you not.

Sorry to hear that though.

14 days is plenty time for that to get reformat and sprang or parts out


@ cooper the best one so far is from dell. some dose jus take pics from the webcam and log ip addresses but imo.

BEST OVERALL THING TO DO IS GET A GPS ENABLED LAPTOP
when added to a system like dells own. it has a 99% chance of recovery unless if it get parts out.
