MacBook recovery in Mechelen, Belgium
"As my family and friends tend to consult me in Mac-related matters, I installed Undercover on all 17 of their Macs. Rightly so, it now seems.
In december 2009, my nephew's laptop was stolen. It took a month before the stolen MacBook came online, but from that moment on, everything began to develop rapidly.
On a daily basis we received reports with mugshots of the perpetrator, screenshots of his activities and exact Google Maps of his whereabouts. The little scoundrel was first spotted on Friday 15 January. Thanks to screenshots showing the thief logging in to MSN and Facebook, the police could identify him. On Monday 18/01 the thief was arrested and on Tuesday 19/01 my nephew had his laptop back. A good example of the cooperation between Orbicule's pioneering software and a chief inspector of the Mechelen police force." - K.L., Mortsel, Belgium

Cornelius Dix, Linz, Austria
"My stolen Apple computer could be traced across 2 countries and finally recovered by the police thanks to Orbicule’s Undercover software. The computer could be traced when the screenshots revealed the computer’s whereabouts. All our laptop computers have Undercover installed and now we know we have invested in working technology. Thanks to Orbicule for their great support which is worth way more then the 50 bucks for the software."
