A client of mine had their laptop stolen a few weeks ago, and today I've noticed it popped up in my Teamviewer list as online.

I connected to it to get the IP address in Teamviewer logs, then I blanked the screen and disabled remote input. It looks like it was just restarted because it's back online again. Obviously its new owner isn't a geek.

Any advice or suggestions as to what we can / should do with it?

UPDATE:

 

 

The laptop has been recovered. I don't have all the details, but the police told me yesterday they were making enquiries with the people involved, and today I got the call from the original owner who has just picked it up.

 

 

As you can imagine, I'm fairly stoked right now.

 

 

Thank you for all the advice :)
