The other day, we mentioned - important if you need your laptop for business - how a stolen laptop was successfully tracked down thanks to the SETI@home software that “phoned home”. Lifehacker point to a Windows only: Freeware application and web utility GadgetTheft, which “tracks your stolen gadgets by placing an autorunning application for your iPod, digital camera, or other USB device. When your gadget is stolen, you login to the GadgetTheft web site and turn on tracking for that device (you can set up several devices in one account). The next time your gadget is plugged in, GadgetTheft will attempt to recover the computer’s IP address, location, Windows username, and computer name, among a few other tidbits.”
