    Prey project lets you keep track of your smartphone(android mobile / iphone) or laptop or computer at all times, and will help you find it if it ever gets lost or stolen. It's lightweight, open source antitheft software/shareware, and free for anyone to use. If your smartphone(android mobile / iphone) or laptop or computer gets stole, you can use prey to track down who stole it and report the thief to the police and get your smartphone(android mobile / iphone) or laptop or computer back. And you could annoy the robber with alarm siren and you only knows the password to turn off the siren because everytime the burglar turns on your smartphone(android mobile / iphone) or laptop or computer the alarm siren go off.

    Useful app. Funny to see that while the iPhone was keeping tabs on you, it doesn't work the other way around!

    Vigilance. No software is going to prevent someone from stealing it (although it just might help in recovering it).
