Great Anti-theft Software: Prey!

Prey  

Lets you keep track of your phone or laptop at all times, and will help you find it if it ever gets lost or stolen. It's lightweight, open source software, and free for anyone to use. 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 

And it just works! Go and get it, before it's too late!

 Much as to my shame as to my happiness I only found out recently where these indignados got their name: from the essay "Indignez Vous!" by German - French philosopher Stéphane Hessel (born in Berlin in 1917!) and I am going to read it today. Now!
It looks so promising, a must-read...
