We use Lojack on all of our laptops - over the past 3-4 years, we've been able to recover 3 laptops.

We don't use Lojack on our campus laptops, but we have had dealings with them when a student connects to our wireless 
network with one that Lojack was activated on.   First time the student disconnected and left before Lojack got in 
touch with the right people.  Couple days later when the student returned, they were in for a big surprise.

Unfortunately, laptops thefts have been significantly increasing, (usually in locked offices - after hours) and was 
wondering what success anyone has had using Lojack, Prey, or other tools.  Any (affordable) ideas for increased 
physical security and software tools that have been proven to reduce thefts and trace the equipment would be 
appreciated.  We will be communicating increased fac/staff awareness as it relates to the physical security of mobile 
devices, so ideas to be included with that message would be great too. Thanks in advance!
