Laptop Thief ident question - how did they do it?

Hi all,

I'm sure many of us saw that article many months ago about a woman who had her laptop stolen from her home during a party, and she was able to access her Mac when it came on the internet and snap a picture with the webcam of the thief.

I was wondering - how would one do that?

I'm getting a laptop on Thursday and although I don't plan to be in many high risk areas or situations - you never know when one may arise, so I'd really like to know what I need to setup on my Macbook to be able to do what she did.

Thanks!

The answer is right here.

Highly recommended.

Regards.

That is a great piece of software. I've never used it (as I just read up on it now) but great find!

Wow, thanks for the link!

I've got it added to my shopping list =)
