Take it to Vigilance house, Harambe Avenue. At the reception, tell them you want to format the stolen lappy

They'll process it while you wait! Their customer service is great and their service is free of charge because it's paid for by all of us

Dave; I see you are getting very good tips on how to format "your" laptop. Good luck especially with the Vigilance house repair shop. Osotsi On Sat, Aug 13, 2011 at 9:44 PM, Anthony Mutua <nzioka.mutua@gmail.com>wrote:

You know guys, i think Dennis' view is more probable. *Dave may have been judged prematurely.* @TI Dave, If that's the case then the thugs have already formatted it for you by now in preparation for its brand new owner. @amarjit That trick is possible only if telnet service was enabled & a dyndns service was installed on the laptop prior to theft. Prey or Logmein are also good alternatives

There is Lojack for Laptops. The Lojack system is unbuilt in the BIOS by most computer manufacturers. But you have to buy the software and pay annual fees to track your laptop. If stolen, you can then format it. In most cases you can also recover it even if it is formatted. But there is also Find My Mac, iPhone, iPad, iPod all in the iCloud.
