Protecting Your Mp3 Player From Theft?

ashwedeveryday asked:


Alright, I’m tired of having my electronic devices stolen and I’m wondering if there’s a way to prevent it from happening. I’m thinking about getting the new Ipod Touch and I definitely want it to have some sort of protection from thieves. I saw a couple ideas that might work. I saw a ‘bible’ online that when you open it, it has your mp3 player inside. But I really want some sort of GPS tracking device I could put in the mp3 player in case it ever gets stolen. Any other ideas or more information about a small GPS device (c’mon, cell phones have it)? Company names and prices will help out significantly. Thanks guys~
Thanks for the answers guys, but I finally found my solution. GadgetTrak.com. ‘Nuff said. I think I’m in love.

Is it legal to break a GPS planted by law enforcement agencies?

Michael H asked:


Just like the headline asks. I was wondering if police or another law enforcement agency place a GPS on say your vehicle.

As in this cnn article:
http://www.cnn.com/2008/CRIME/08/18/gps.tracking/index.html

If you found it, would it be legal to disable it and keep/throw it away?

I guess this question goes for any monitoring device placed on your property.

Using GPS to track a stolen computer?

madmarkuk2003 asked:


We’ve all heard stories of computers being stolen and being found via some ingenious detective work when the criminal uses them for web browsing.
But what is they actually have brain cells and just wipe the drive and sell it on? GPS technology is pretty affordable so why not just use a GPS data puller to query it’s location?

Does anyone know of any GPS devices that allow this sort of thing?
Not practical? Pipe dream? What about something similar to GPS dog tracking collars?

Also, a computer does not ‘become a nice paper weight’ when the drive is wiped, all you have to do is install an OS or boot one form a CD.

There are plenty of remote control programs already but I’d like to avoid those in case someone were to get hold of your password for it. The only difference in that system is that the OS is stored on the motherboard.

MAC address? Nice try but that can actually be changed very easily with a single ifconfig command on all real operating systems.

A friend of mine is being stalked by an ex-boyfriend and there is a tracking device that he installed in her car. We know that he could get into trouble but we need to find the device first. Is there a way?
He calls her whenever she leaves the house and asks where she is going and says he knows when she leaves and gets home and he doesnt live around here.

Vehicle tracking via GPS?

plinker021 asked:


I have a company car I let an employee use and I think they may be using it for more than work. I know there are vehicle tracking devices where you can watch the vehicle real-time on the internet but the ones I find have a monthly subscription cost. Are there any that don’t cost anything?

Should the Government track your movements and transactions?

Gardenfoot asked:


If you are not open to everyone you are obviously doing something illegal.

All forms of transportation should have GPS tracking devices. When you leave and enter a place you have to us your national ID to swipe in and out.

All this is to bring about safety, security and justice.
Your Business is also the government’s business. Keep that in mind.
For you anti-Government types; You better straighten-up and fly right, or you will find yourself in a prison cell.
