Create a beacon to track your stolen computer

Computer crimes of another kind: Sadly it took someone’s laptop to get stolen to get this idea, but it’s an excellent one: create a beacon by having your startup URL be your own web site, but with a secret code attached to the end of it. When a person tries to use the computer, you’ll see it in your referrer logs and be able to track them down via their IP address (and thus real name and address) at that time of connection.
