I should really be a computer thief... The first thing I'd do is run DBAN. Always.

I apparently do. Just spoke with the developer of the software and there is some rudementary way to use the command shell behind the scenes. It will be a couple of hours before I hear back on how to do that though.

This is besides having full access to the console session, but that would obviously alert the thief which I'm trying to avoid.
 
I'm won't be back in the office for an hour or so.

Now that I have the IP history for the last couple of weeks, I'll be sharing that with the police... then the fun starts. The software allows me to record the session which should provide some lulz. Depending on how things go, some screen caps and youtube vidoes should be a possibility.

One can only hope he has his own youtube account. I'm sure ill find him on gmail and facebook soon enough as well.

Umm yeah do NOT DO THIS. Funny enough, it's against the law. Even on a stolen laptop.

Interesting. One thing though.

Clements-Jeffrey, however, asserted she never noticed the missing serial number and had no reason to doubt the asking price for the two-year old machine, since the computer had been wiped clean of software when she bought it.

Still risky since I don't know the person using it is the actual thief.

But that guy did this not too long ago with his macbook, and made a blog about it, with pics of the perp, which finally got the police to respond to it. I wonder if I'll have to do the same.
