This software periodically run on background, gather network information and give you some hints where your laptop is.
The website recommend you do *not* try to catch the thief by yourself even when you find out where it is.
One interesting thing is the software can take a picture of the thief when your computer is MacBook series, which has a camera at top of the LCD.
The logic was simple, so that I made similar one by myself.
