Prey is a lightweight application that will help you track and find your laptop if it ever gets stolen. It works in all operating systems and not only is it Open Source but also completely free.

How will it help you track the laptop after the thief has wiped the hard drive and installed a new operating system?

I have NoMachine set up on my laptop so I can remote into it and turn on the webcam. How can I do this though if the thief doesn't have port 22 forwarded on his router?
