The laptop of a LoJack for Laptops customer was stolen in a car burglary. Within days of receiving the customer’s theft report, the Absolute Theft Recovery Team had determined the laptop’s user, whom the police soon contacted.

Extremely cooperative, the user returned the laptop to police before explaining how he had recently purchased it for $100. He was able to clearly identify the laptop’s original seller, along with the seller’s residence. He also claimed to have noticed a number of suspicious items at the residence – many of which he suspected to be stolen. Working off this evidence, police obtained a search warrant for the identified home.

The search proved to be advantageous – police recovered two handguns, several thousand dollars worth of stolen property (mostly electronics), and an established marijuana grow operation. As a result of these finds, several additional burglary cases were solved. The owner of the residence, already a convicted felon, was arrested at the scene and faces multiple charges and jail time.

The involved deputy offered the following comment on LoJack for Laptops: “This software is the greatest thing to come down the line in a long, long time.”
