Of course, some are simply “left” and show up in lost and found, but most of them are actually stolen.

There have been two leaders in computer tracking for quite some time. Absolute Software, and Brigadoon Security. Now a new service has appeared on the scene: Adeona (adeone.cs.washington.edu). This new service is free and open source, allowing the software to evolve with experience and new ideas by other developers. Might be something to look into.

Of course, the best thing is to hang onto your laptop in the first place.
