Way too early this morning, the place where I worked got burgled again...and my pretty laptop is now gone. It is only used for when I go a-wandering on site and for work at home, but the usual tale of lost data has sprung up, and have been in the shits all day.

Anyway, wise Lithers, i was wondering if any of those Spy tracers/locators/ickle circular black buttons you see in movies and read in books can be found and purchased anywhere...you know, with a piece of chewing gum, you slap this button transmitter on something and via a GPS system or something locate it straight away.

I have been Net-Searching some pretty spooky sites all day trying to find info, yet i would have a clue what they are called, and more importantly if they exist...

I suppose the query also raises the point of whether I use them at all if they exist, seems a bit paranoid, where does one stop...cars, computers, people...pies...

Yup the phrase I plugged into google was laptop tracker (tracker being the car trace system that I see when I go the loo in service stations) and this company came up, http://www.theft-trace.com/
Haven't been able to find any UK specific stuff, you'd have to do more digging.
