Anyone saw the news yesterday? Seems like they were reporting on missing laptop and how the tracking device can be bought in some electronic shops.

And one of those so call experts even gave a few tips how to avoid our laptop being detected by covering it with a 'Periuk'.

So the Myth does exist...

Seems like there are 2 models that are popular...

So better be wary and get yourself a backpack to bring along your lappy.

I'm not kidding, it was in the news yesterday..

Sometimes backpacks might cause even more harm.
I have quite a few friends who encountered snatch cases in areas of Pudu. One fell and injured himself during the whole thing happened. It is no longer safe to bring lappies around nowadays.

Can someone provide some information on how to avoid the laptop detectors?(Except for covering with periuk lar). I heard some saying that removing the laptop battery will help, is there any logic in that?

Saw it last night. The cheapest detector is about RM 40.00 @ Jln. Pasar roadside stalls too can get. Maybe someone can buy and check with the "periuk" thing and post out findings here. On another thought. Isnt closing the car's boot almost like puting the laptop in a periuk? of course there are gaps in the in the baclight areas etc.

seems like a good business to whoever can create a undetectable laptop backpack but the during airport check up, they'll think u ...

I for once will never leave my laptop in car no matter what, if not for security reason, for heat problem. Excessive exposure to heat will cause damage to any notebook in the long term. Get a backpack that doesnt look like a laptop backpack. Prolly like a northface or sum sheet. Im screwed then. Anyone want to buy my laptop bag then?

I think they detecting the boot right? Coz i definitely wont leave any stuff on driver or passenger seats. Some ppl just break cars just for the smarttag.

i watched the news....not only dat it can detect ur notebook...they will even try to unlock ur car...they try to read ur alarm wireless signal n then ur car will unlock itself...the size of the detector will b as small as pen...

more hitech one would b able to determine either its notebook or digital camera...

well dats wat i saw in tv3 8pm news....last monday nite...

on the other hand, my lecturer own this stuff...n he said it detect ur wifi signal...even u edy shutdown ur notebook, ur wifi still emit small signal...better way is to remove the battery from ur notebook...

my opinion? NEVER leave ur notebook inside ur car...

edit: i need logical explanation how the hell it can detect battery/cmos battery...erh...battery did emit any signal? i wondering....
