Hi Daniel,

There is one recovery application called GadgetTrack, which offers wi-fi positioning and webcam support to snap a photo of the thief.
It provides anti-theft software for laptops, including Windows and Mac.

Another theft recovery application is Norton Anti-Theft. Norton Anti-Theft helps you instantly locate and lock down stolen laptops, Smartphone, and tablets.

Simply go to the Norton Anti-Theft site from any Web browser to see your device's location
on a map, immediately lock it down, and even discover who has it.

The most popular laptop retrieval software may be Absolute Software's Computrace LoJack
for Laptops, tracks and delete data in your laptop using GPS/Wi-Fi.

Some location based tracking services are LocateMyLaptop.com and Loki.com.

Hope this helps!
