If you?ve ever reached into your carry-on only to find an empty space where your phone, computer, or camera used to be, you know how thoroughly a lost or stolen gadget can ruin your trip. Fortunately, there are services to help track down your missing gear and protect you against identity theft. GadgetTrak Mobile Security ($19.95 per year) brings the features built in to Windows Phone and iOS to Android and BlackBerry users: it will locate your phone using GPS and Wi-Fi and can also lock the device or wipe your data?even if someone inserts another SIM card. CameraTrace ($10 per camera) tracks a registered camera using metadata embedded in digital photos, so it can find any pictures taken with your camera that have been uploaded to one of many popular image-sharing sites.
Knowing the location of your device is useful if you?ve simply misplaced it, but in the case of theft, it won?t do you much good without the help of the law. Unfortunately, limited resources mean few police departments will bother pursuing stolen tech gear. But when a laptop enabled with LoJack for Laptops (from $19.99 per year) is reported stolen, the program?s forensic tools automatically contact LoJack for Laptops?s central command every 15 minutes, making it easy to collect evidence that police can use for, say, a search warrant. ?We have about 60 ex-police officers working for us,? says Mark Grace of Absolute Software, the company behind this product, ?and they know how to work with law enforcement authorities across the globe to get these cases solved.?
