Good security idea for your laptop

I saw an article in the Sunday Times regarding a student who had her laptop nicked in a burglary.
Anyway, she had downloaded a system called Prey ( free I think ), and where-ever the laptop goes, it can be tracked, and if the webcam is switched on, can even monitor who is using it, and they might not even know they are being watched....... cool eh.
I just thought it might be of use to you on here. Alanthemanc

In that Times article, it said that the burglar who nicked the students laptop was watching something after midnight on it, fell asleep, and the cops just walked in and arested him after seeing his face on the webcam.
