Which Lost/Stolen Laptop Trackers Do You Like?
saudadelinux writes "I was held up at gunpoint in July, and my laptop was stolen. There are companies out there which, for a fee, install tracker software on your laptop. If it's stolen or lost, they track its whereabouts whenever it gets on the 'Net and work with local law enforcement and ISPs to find the machine. I'm wondering: has anyone used one of these services? Does anyone have a recommendation for which company to go with? My new laptop is a a dual-boot Ubuntu/XP machine, and the couple of companies I've looked at do Windows-only. Are there Linux options?"

Yes, trust no one, what a great way to go through life. Enjoy your lonely isolated life.
In fact, most of the time leaving a laptop alone is fine. As is leaving your car unlocked.
I pity the person who goes through life in a world of mistrust and paranoia.
In fact, significantly more laptops are left unattended then are stolen.
The fact that you are touching your MBP with hot sweaty hands is enough to keep me from wanting to touch it.
