Came across a free tracking software yesterday called prey,it's open source & requires a free account it can be used on all OS's & some cell phones,it apparently stays dormant until you login to the account & activate it that it's stolen,as soon as some dumbass goes online "BAM" you got him including gps cordinates & picture etc..hahaha..looks like you may even be able to lock the comp down or at least some folders ?
