Beware: Thieves Finding Netbooks By Using Wifi

Chance Stevens 4 March 2010 158 views View Comments

This is a public service announcement:

If you are going to leave your netbook in your car, or in your bag unattended make sure to turn the Wifi OFF first.  Why?

Because thieves can find your netbook based on the Wifi signal and then make it disappear.  The thieves use cheap store bought indicators to find machines before breaking in or ransacking.  It might be a pain in the butt to do it but an even bigger pain would be paying to replace your netbook.
