After a laptop equipped with LoJack for Laptops laptop security software was stolen from a California University dorm room, its owner was confident that the Absolute Software Recovery Team would be able to track the thief and recover his computer. Indeed, within weeks, LoJack for Laptops had recovered the laptop and uncovered a thief — among other things.

The installed stolen laptop tracking software revealed the name and location of the laptop’s unauthorized user, providing police with the details necessary to launch a further investigation. This additional inquiry revealed that, beyond a computer thief, the user was also a known fugitive with an active warrant in the US. An illegal immigrant with a criminal record, he was subject to deportation.

Using the address that the Absolute Recovery Team provided, police were quick to obtain a search warrant and visit the user’s residence. The user claimed to have purchased the laptop online, and as was later revealed, use it to help gain employment under false identities. The laptop was recovered, and the user arrested and charged.

The original owner has been reunited with his laptop, and the user has since left the country. The detective who worked alongside the Absolute Recovery Team for the duration of this case has recently begun work on a new LoJack for Laptops recovery file.
