Now that I think of it, in the fall 2004 edition of the 2600 there was a really good article about laptop security.
It focused on putting together a 'phone home' programme that would send a heartbeat to a remote server every 15 minutes when plugged into a network. There might have been something in the article about getting data off it remotely too. Very handy for this type of theft. I'll make a scan of it if anyone is interested. Good luck!

Sorry to use the list for this kind of things, but considering the context, it may be suitable. My laptop got stolen 3 days ago from my home (around Ultimo). It's a small silver Twinhead (don't quite remember the model right now), with 2 operating systems running on it (LILO: Slackware Linux and Windows XP). If anybody sees it around, please contact me via email soon as possible. I'm willing to pay for it's return. The content is important for me. Thanks a lot.
