Two free solutions that I recommend are iAlertU for Macintosh and Laptop Alarm for PC’s. Also, an alarm system would be handy so that if you leave your laptop on a table in a coffee shop so that you grab another grande skinny latte, it will alert others to a theft attempt. The question is, how do you do it? In my mind, you need to make sure that if someone steals your laptop, you can find it wherever it is (and maybe get the bad guy to boot).
