I had a laptop stolen out of my luggage in the Amsterdam airport (I live in Phoenix, AZ.)  It dawned on my a few days later that I could keep an eye on my admin page to see if it went on line. On the 9th day - it did!  I upgraded from "free" to a trial version of "IT-Reach" and was able to retrieve my files - then delete them from the computer remotely while the culprit was on line ( he had no idea ).

Over the next week, I began tracking and logging all the IP addresses it logged in from, extracted his email addresses from temp internet files - then i got gutsy!

I started a screen capture program on my office computer, remotely activated the built-in webcam and recorded the video and audio of the individual actually using the stolen laptop!
