I googled and found some software that need to be installed before hand and stuff like that. But it seems like there would be more options to get it back. Assuming the real owner did not connect through a router, shouldn't the isp have a record of their mac address on file? And if so, assuming the thief connects to the internet, again, not through a router, won't the mac address again be available? Is it possible to put out a MAC address apb to ISPs? These people are students, she's an artist that takes photos and lost a very high end camera as well. They need this stuff for school. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
