Absolute Software’s LoJack for Laptops helped prevent the identity theft of a man in Lynnwood.

Michael Pierson left his laptop in his car while he went to the mall. Though only gone for a half-hour, Michael returned to find his car had been burglarized, and his laptop was missing.

Michael Pierson was prepared, though. He had installed Computrace LoJack for Laptops.  Absolute Software was notified of the theft and when the laptop next came online, the IP address was sent to Lynwood police. The police were able to track the thieves to a motel where there was evidence that the thief was running an identity theft operation.

In this case, identity theft may have been the motivator for the burglary. With the help of Computrace LoJack for Laptops, the crime was prevented and the laptop returned.
