How does your stolen Mac database work?

How and where is your stolen Mac database maintained? If my Mac were stolen how would I get my serial number to show up in your stolen Mac database?

When you complete the web form on our stolen Mac page we generate a report and the information is then verified and committed to our database.

I suggest that you create a database people can register their Macs before they are stolen. If they are stolen then you would already have all the information needed to return a recovered Mac.

For some peace-of-mind, you can check out GadgetTrak (http://www.gadgettrak.com/). This is software you install yourself. If you Mac or iOS device is stolen, you can use GadgetTrak to track it via Wi-Fi positioning, get location notifications and even turn on the webcam and take photos of the thief.
