LoJack DID NOT work for me!!!
After stupidly leaving my 4-month-old MacBook Pro 13.3 on an airplane I felt confident that I would either receive my recovered la ptop or $1,000 compensation. I filed a police report as required and supposedly the investigation ensued. Due to fine print (lost/stolen outside the U.S.) I was not eligible for the compensation, and just had to hope that they could track down my property. In the few days following the event, the lucky new owner logged into the internet using my computer and LoJack was able to trace it: the laptop was still in Amsterdam. This, however, is where the search seemed to end. Apparently they needed more than those few log-ins, the associated IP address, and a police report to actually retrieve the laptop. The next step I was told was just to wait for more internet usage and hope that the thief would type some personal information into a website.
So either the new owner of my laptop has not logged in to the internet since January 31, 2010 (4 1/2 months ago as I'm writing this), or the hard drive has been replaced and I will probably never see it again.
Bottom Line: You're probably covered if you don't travel internationally with your computer and your thief isn't tech-savvy. …- Written by Sam E from Seattle

LoJack Overrated
If you purchase this software and install it on your Mac in hopes of being able to trace your stolen computer. Keep this in mind i f someone steals your computer and erases the hard drive they also erase the LoJack software and your computer will not be traceable.

Works!
A University colleague had his MBPro stolen from a clinic. The guilty party was located..on the campus! Pretty sad! A patient who was a student had taken the mac.
Of course not many people would guess that they have to remove the hard drive to clean up the device!
Based on this I load it up on our families Mac's...Get the University discount! …- Written by Richard F from RIVERSIDE

How can loJack be effective, if i have a password.... someone steals my laptop, they can't login to connect to the internet
- Asked by Arian F from Merced
- Aug 13, 2010
Best Answer
i just wanted to correct you, apple doesn't allow lo jack to be in the bios/flash memory... so if th ey reformat the hard drive it will go away. I'm a professor at University of California, and i teach a course on security... i do a lab were they must install lo jack on a mac, and lo jack is just like any other program, it doesn't have any special bios/flash place where you can store it, if the hard drive gets reformatted...
So this is true if you have a password, so if your laptop is stolen it won't be able phone home, because the theft won't be able to login to the internet. …- Answered by Arian F from Merced
