We’re still celebrating the world didn’t end last year, and to show you how happy we are, here’s our first 2013 present for you: Prey for Android now takes pictures of whoever steals your device. From now on, it doesn’t matter anymore if your desktop, laptop, tablet or phone gets stolen—as long as there’s a built-in camera on your device, you’ll see the bad guys’ faces.

But that’s not all the news! Prey for Android got much more handsome, it also features an Uninstallation Lock, and now gathers hardware information to help you identify your lost device in case it gets found. Some bugs were also fixed.

We’re extremely happy to hear that every day Prey helps hundreds of people around the world recover their stolen property by providing the information needed to get them back. A few weeks ago, though, we heard about Fernanda, a Brazilian enthusiast who uses an old Android phone running Prey to keep her new electrical bicycle safe.

Yup, that’s right mister.

She claims that there’s not a single insurance company interested in insuring her bike in Brazil, so she developed her own security system without any help. If you want to learn how she managed to solve her problem, keep on reading.

It’s been a while since we last updated our Android client so it was time to put our elves — I mean, our team — back into Android action. We recently pushed a big juicy update that includes a complete revamp of the UI, some security enhancements, and yes, Camouflage Mode.

Right now you have two options: you take the blue pill, and head on to Google Play and install or update Prey on your phone or tablet. You take the red pill, you stay on our blog and keep reading, and we show you how deep the rabbit hole goes.
