We recently recovered an entire lab worth of stolen computers using CompuTrace. It's a popular product both with the 
colleges and with the police department.

Subject: [SECURITY] Computer Tracking Products

Can anyone recommend any products or expand on their experiences with a vendor that provides computer tracking 
services. Currently, we have only looked at Computrace (sometimes known as LoJack) by Absolute. They claim to have a 
large University presence, but I want to make sure there aren't folks out there with better experiences elsewhere.
