Absolute’s Top Recoveries of the Week

Most Collateral Recovered: Over $100,000 in Stolen Property

Scenario: While its owner slept, a laptop equipped with Computrace LoJack for Laptops was stolen in a home burglary. Two days later, Absolute was able to track the machine’s location and unauthorized user – all of the information police needed to identify a suspect and produce a search warrant. The search warrant was executed and the victim’s laptop recovered. Also seized at the scene: car parts, motorcycles, additional computers, and electronics among other stolen items, with a total value in excess of $100,000.

Most Distant Recovery: South Africa

Scenario: With Computrace LoJack for Laptops ever expanding its recovery borders, a laptop was recently recovered in Cape Town, South Africa just weeks after it was stolen in a home burglary.

Speediest Recovery: 6 Days

Scenario: Less than one week after it was stolen from a university rec hall, a laptop was returned to a relieved student, and the two thieves involved were arrested.

Most Computers Recovered by One Investigator: 17

Scenario: A recent burglary left a US college 17 computers lighter. With the help of Computrace, a skilled investigator was able to recover all 17, each from different locations but all with a connection to a single suspect. The outcome was favorable: a thwarted suspect facing multiple charges, an investigator impressed by Computrace’s capabilities and a happy school reunited with what is rightfully theirs.
