    Here's an idea: BestBuy should create a secret elite team of laptop recovery commando's that are made up of former Iraqi soldiers that get activated when you call for their 'services'. All you have to do is give them the coordinates and they'll 'retrieve' the laptop.

    @anti-hello-kitty: that reminds me of an old SNL skit about travelers insurance :) I think Phill hartman was in it. basically if your stuff gets stolen a group will reign terror upon the thief and entire family.

    @lazerpenguin: It was for interbank travvelers checks. I think it was post Hartman though.
