But honestly think about Joe Cop and how technical he is. He might even know what an IP address is. So the one thing I left out of my article is the number one rule for all laptops: Always create a BIOS password and a Hard Drive password!

If I give this info to the cops will they look into it or laugh at me? You sure made that review fun to read Karl! So does anyone know what the law is in the US of A?

Besides the fact what I would do if I found him... There is also my honey pot account on the machine... The only one that shows up on the welcome screen. It has no password and ohhhh boy if the user logs into it. It runs some group policy scripts, deletes my files, snaps some pictures, uploads them and starts playing nightmare on elm street music. (Maybe a little Rick Rolling would be more appropriate?) And thanks for all the kind words guys! Back to modifying my scripts!
