What we do is put an aluminum plate with a barcode on the top of the laptop. It has a 3M sticky tag underneath which sticks to the laptop itself reading 'Stolen Property' with a phone number to call if the plate is ever removed.

Ideally, having your laptop with you at all times is the best way to guarantee that your laptop is never stolen.

Getting down all of the information necessary for the barcode takes 15 minutes, while the application itself takes about two minutes.

It is not worth it for criminals to take off the tag if they want to go ahead and sell it. Criminals do not want to hassle with it and wind up damaging the laptop.

We contacted Harvard University, which also has this program in action. They had about five recoveries.
