Prey is a lightweight laptop and phone tracker that helps you locate, secure, lock and recover your stuff if it goes missing. Works in Mac, Windows, Linux and ...
Prey was recommended by the Houston Policeman that heads my subdivision Patrol. He said that it is free for laptop, but I see on their website, that tracking on 3 devices, costs $5 a month, and increases incrementally to the number of devices in a small company.
When the thief turns on the stolen laptop, It photographs the thief and gives their GPS. Houston Police have apprehended laptop thieves and recovered the laptops. The thieves are in jail, as the theft of a laptop is a felony.
The police are pleased to have this program to work through as thefts of laptops left in cars has increased greatly in Houston.
I wonder if a label on a laptop registered with the Prey Project might prevent a theft, as word will spread in the theft community – don’t know.
