No they can't. It is strictly a service to recover vehicles that have been reported stolen.
yes! you can!
LoJack is generally considered effective for vehicle recovery, especially for stolen cars, as it uses a hidden tracking device that communicates with law enforcement. Its success rate in recovering stolen vehicles is relatively high, particularly in areas where the system is well-established. However, its effectiveness can vary based on the location and the speed of law enforcement response. Overall, while LoJack can be a valuable tool for vehicle security, it’s best used in conjunction with other anti-theft measures for optimal protection.
Why would you even need a laptop that is only used for typing?
You can find used laptop notebooks online or at Best Buy, Circuit City, Office Max, Office Depot. The best priced used laptop notebooks would be online.
If you mean a laptop gets stolen and the thief starts using it, then no. Unless, there is special tracking software and service installed in that laptop. If you mean that a criminal uses their laptop on the internet and the police on the other end wants to know where that laptop is in the world, then yes. That laptop, when connected to the internet, will have a unique ip address for that session. That address can be used to identify what part of the country that laptop is located in. Finding the exact location is difficult, but possible. So, if the thief of your laptop uses the internet and tells you that they are using your stolen laptop while online, you can figure out his ip address and give it to the police.
From my personal experience a good place to find a used cheap laptop is from any reputable supplier.
Some good used Windows laptop can be found online at the Amazon website and the E-bay website. Both website contain a lot of used Windows laptop for sale.
Yes you can, if you have a GPS or other tracking device installed inside it. Sometimes it may be possible to trace a stolen laptop or computer if it goes online via the internet, in the same manner organisations track pirated copies of their software on your system. There are also software you can download onto your laptop discreetly, for a price, to track its location and how it's being used by others.
Yes. Each computer has what's called a MAC address that cannot be modified. This address can be linked to an IP address and with that information, narrow down the location the computer is connected. It's not fool proof, but it can be done.
You can use ipconfig.
A GPS system purchased by consumers for the purpose of driving directions cannot be used to track stolen cars because these GPS systems work by receiving satellite signals for the purpose of tracking location but cannot transmit signals back to a receiver. If you are interested in a device that be used to track stolen cars you could look into car services such as OnStar, Assist, LoJack, or other car specific gps tracking services that come pre-installed into the vehicles. http://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-third-generation/475105-does-gps-track-car-if-stollen.html
