Tracking lost/stolen electronic devices

Just thought I would share an interesting website/application.

I have had some electronic items stolen since moving here. I researched and was recommended to a site called Prey Project. Basically, it is an open source solution for tracking your devices.

From the website:
"Basically you install a tiny agent in your PC or phone, which silently waits for a remote signal to wake up and work its magic.

This signal is sent either from the Internet or through an SMS message, and allows you to gather information regarding the device's location, hardware and network status, and optionally trigger specific actions on it".

Anyway- something interesting to look into if you want.
