Fortunately no significant detective work was needed, face***k gave his name,his previous school (through his desire to tell everyone his educational history in faceb**k) and IP address, he was unknown to authorities, but simple open source enqs using google and social networking sites coupled with screen shots made the police`s job easier and a quick win.
If you travel i thoroughly recommend this if not something else, its better than nothing at all and if the thief is inquisitive on whats on your laptop and has an internet connection its all prey needs and is a starter for 10 even if he wipes it, some software can be embedded in BIOS and a simple password lock prevents deletion (i think you have to pay for it though).
I still cant help chuckling as i see the twa** face on the screengrabs, would love to have been a fly on the wall when police told him how he was caught!!
