« on: May 26, 2017, 08:12:16 AM »
I see there are options for anti-theft for Mobile phones, but what about laptops?  Anyway to track a stolen laptop?

I use the following and it has helped me recover a laptop left at an airport:

It will not help for the one stolen but will work if installed on the next one before it gets stolen.
