Cool new free service that tracks stolen USB gadgets like MP3 players, cameras and USB flash drives etc. When the device is stolen you log into the server, flag it as stolen and the next time the device is plugged into a computer it sends the owner of the device info about that system like IP address, location, username and computer name and more.

Well, just make sure that when you steal something, plug it into an offline computer.
I'm sure somebody will release something that blocks internet connection from things like these.

It's called a firewall, but good luck totally protecting yourself.
