Got a laptop? Download SETI@home for added security.
This report says that after the stolen machine had checked in to the SETI@home database the IP was sent to police. After a subpoena to a local Internet provider, police determined the real-world address where the stolen laptop was logging on. Within days, officers seized the computer and returned it.
This may not be foolproof, but every little thing counts, if it helps someone to get their business stuff back.
