REPORT: The incident in question began as a structure fire. During the commotion of the event, the victim’s laptop was stolen from the apartment, and after local authorities handled the scene, the theft was reported to Absolute Software. Fortunately for the victim, the stolen laptop, outfitted with Absolute Persistent Technology, connected to the Internet right away and the Investigations and Recovery Team began gathering data. Through the use of Absolute Forensic Tools, the suspected user was identified by both name and address, and the information was submitted to local law enforcement detectives. Just one day after authorities received the report, the device was recovered. The suspect stated that the laptop was furnished by a friend and did not claim responsibility for the theft. However, an outstanding warrant for identity theft resulted in the suspect’s arrest. The second suspect is now under investigation.

The suspect in this case denied responsibility but faced criminal charges for other crimes.
