A laptop is most often an expensive piece of equipment that attracts the attention of thieves in public places. If your laptop is stolen, you can still try to find it.
Instructions
Step 1
The chances of getting a stolen laptop back are greatly increased if you have taken care of such a situation in advance and installed one of the so-called "spyware" programs. One of them is the well-known TeamViewer. Using this application, by launching it from another computer, you can configure remote communication with a stolen laptop. After examining the features of the program, you can, for example, see what actions the attacker performed with the computer - which programs or Internet sites were launched. If you're lucky, you can even fire up your webcam and capture the hapless thief.
Step 2
Another effective program for tracking a stolen laptop is Prey. After installing this application, it will be invisible to users to collect various information about the system and active connections and transfer them to a special user server. Subsequently, you can get the information you need to calculate the thief and transfer it to law enforcement agencies.
Step 3
Check with your internet service provider. An attacker might try to use a network connection on the computer. In this case, the provider can provide data on the time and place of all connections to the laptop's IP address, which again will help you find the stolen device with the help of law enforcement agencies.
Step 4
If none of the proposed measures help or suit you, just contact the police as soon as possible and write a statement about theft of personal property with an exact indication of the laptop model, place and time of theft, will accept the intruder, possible suspects, etc. Law enforcement agencies have their own channels of communication and methods of action in such situations and, fortunately, at present, such crimes are being successfully solved.
