ZD Net UK has a story in which a laptop with private records was recovered. I think there should be more anti-theft technology for laptops.

A stolen laptop containing personal information of more than 98,000 California university students and applicants has been recovered but it’s uncertain whether the information had been tapped, the University of California, Berkeley, said on Thursday.
The laptop, which stored names and Social Security numbers, disappeared in March from a restricted area of the university’s graduate division offices, forcing the university to alert more than 98,000 students and applicants of the theft.
The university said in a statement that a San Francisco man has been arrested and charged by the Alameda County district attorney with possession of stolen property after investigators discovered the laptop had been bought over the Internet by a man in South Carolina.
