John's Undercover-enabled MacBook Pro was stolen at his golf club, just a few miles from where he lives, somewhere in North Carolina, USA.

Just 6 minutes after the MacBook was connected, our recovery center receives snapshots of the thief, taken with the MacBook's built-in iSight camera. The iSight camera really is a great tool for identifying the thief. The iSight pictures we receive clearly show the current user of the MacBook, most likely the thief himself (later, we received confirmation that this was indeed the thief).

That is awesome. I'd buy that in a heartbeat if I had a Mac with camera...great work there.

I wonder if they can make that for non-Mac notebooks with integrated cameras. There are quite a few.

You can buy a lojack device for your laptop for like 50 bucks a year. http://www.lojackforlaptops.com/lear...or-laptops.asp
You can pick the tracking softwareup at compusa for a nominal fee or I think download it off the website.Last edited by cywkevin; 12-14-2006 at 02:02 PM.
