• Location: Portsmouth, England.
• Date Stolen: April 8, 2012
• Date Recovered: April 9, 2012
• Theft: House Burglary.
• Missing items: 13″ Macbook
• Police reaction: They were very impressed that this app existed and worked. After telling them about it, I later heard the officer recommended it around the office!
• Time it took for first report to arrive: The first report arrived roughly 5 hours after the burglary.
• Once received, time it took for police to recover it: Immediately! I was initially dubious as to whether they would take it seriously, or even be allowed to take action on this basis. When I phoned them with the information after receiving the first report, they sent an officer over to me, and a team over to the house the laptop was located at.
• Final thoughts: Ecstatic! I had hoped the laptop would be used and provide reports, but tried not to get my hopes up in case it didn’t work. However it surpassed all my expectations.
