I did not use any technology to track it back. Just gave my serial number & description to a friend in town and it was tracked to a certain pawn broker/shylock . I paid a certain amount and I got it back with everything intact.
I had gone to the police and done a statement and all that but i knew it was waste of time since they told me to wait & give them time to investigate after viewing the footage closely. I did not have the time for being taken up and down by police so i engaged this streetwise friend who asked for the serial number and description of the laptop. He in turn apparently shared this with some guys in town and for sure within 2 hrs he called me to ask me the username of the main account on the laptop. I gave him the username and to my amazement it matched and i had the laptop intact within the next 1 hr. It turns out that there are 4 main guys in town who handle stolen gadgets i.e laptops, pads & smartphones under the protection of some senior cops. & therefore I did not involve the police again and I don't plan to because i knew if I involved them i would not have gotten the laptop.
