Thieves can detect laptops in cars using "scanners" of some sort.

Is that true or just a myth?

Thanks for the response.

I would certainly like to know what technology they are using.

I don't think thieves do much good things around here. The only way is to make regular backups of your phone/laptop.

For Mac, use SuperDuper to make an exact clone of your HDD
For phones, I just sync the contacts I have to my Mac.

As for the recovering your Macs, there is this service online which keeps track on your Mac if ever if goes missing.

@balok,

You can buy it online. I don't think it comes in a physical form of CD, only downloads.

@rx330,

I would more than happy to "steal" the Vaio for you.

Probably they made it that way so that MB/MBP users won't be the idiot with the blazing loud songs in Starbucks. Earphone ftw?
