Absolute’s recoveries often lead police to more than just stolen computers…check out a few of this week’s top recoveries:

–> A laptop disappeared from the locked desk of a corporate customer, leading police to believe that the thief was internal to the victim company. Indeed, the unauthorized user that Absolute identified was a current employee, and also discovered, was a longtime suspect for past office thefts – but the company simply did not have the intel to prove it. Now armed with the information provided by Absolute, police were able to attend the employee’s residence. The company’s laptop was recovered from the scene – along with 5 other company computers that were believed to be stolen prior to the installation of Computrace. The (now former) employee was arrested.

–> Bullet proof vests, a revolver, prescription drugs, an array of illegal substances, drug paraphernalia and $500 in criminal proceeds complemented the recovery of a laptop stolen in a recent break-and-enter.  Two arrests, four charges and a happy Computrace LoJack for Laptops customer resulted.

–>A laptop that was stolen in a home invasion revealed two unauthorized users – resulting in two search warrants served. The computer was swiftly recovered, along with an illegal weapon and over $7,000 worth of narcotics. Further, the two suspects were not only linked to the home invasion and charged for that offense – they also face charges for possession of narcotics for the purpose of trafficking, possession of stolen property, and possession of illegal firearms. All in a day’s work…

 
Please note that indictments and criminal complaints are merely unproven accusations and the accused, in all cases, are presumed innocent until proven guilty.
