Laptop, netbook, desktop, or Android device is our favorite items. And ofcourse having that device lost or stolen can be a horrible experience for use. Fortunately now there are solutions to prevent that happening.

Laptop Theft

Thanks to the light, easy to use, and Open Source project Prey, you can set it up to find you device. Here I will share how to use it. You can use a Windows 7 netbook, but it also works on Mac, Linux, and Android devices. There's no support for iOS devices but hopefully that will come in the future.

• First, Go to the Prey Project site and download the software. Then install it on your system. The installation process is easy, just follow the defaults.

Then you'll see the following messages letting you know the account was created, you will get a confirmation email, and that the configuration was successful.

• To test it out or if your device actually is lost or stolen, click on the device you want to configure. This brings you to a control panel where you have several options. Under Current status set it to missing and set the frequency of reports and actions. Set the information you want the reports to gather and the actions you want it to preform.
