When a loptop is stolen, the real loss is generally the data on the laptop; not the laptop itself. Granted it would be nice to find out who stole your laptop so you can show up at their door with a baseball bat and beat them to a bloody pulp, but retrieving one's data seems to me to be the real value in any of these *anti-theft* devices. I've tried a couple, but the only one I could find with data retrieval functionality was lucira's solution (http://www.lucira.com). I also tried ztrace's solution (http://www.ztrace.com) but didn't encountr any data-retrieval functionality.
