Celebrity Influence Doesn't Help Recover Stolen 
Laptops 
Just like Tina Fey did earlier this year, comedienne Miranda Hart has taken to social 
media after having her laptop stolen, hoping to get back her stolen device and all the 
creative projects therein. Although Tina Fey used a talk show as her outlet, Miranda 
Hart tweeted the following to her more than 1.3M followers: 
"If people who stole my laptop last night in W6 out there. Please please please return. 
Precious creative projects all lost. Will reward. RT." 
As of the writing of this post, the tweet has been retweeted 9,610 times. Exposed to 
millions of people, to our knowledge the laptop has not been found or returned. Same 
goes for Tina Fey. 
Millions of laptops are stolen every year – one every 50 seconds. Did you know that you 
have only a 3% chance of getting back your laptop if you don't have it protected? Even 
with the exposure through TV, in news stories, and all over social media, neither of 
these celebrities got back their laptops. Without backups, to our knowledge, they have 
suffered irrecoverable losses of their creative materials. 
We hate to see people suffer as the result of a stolen laptop. Whether celebrity or not, 
the loss can be devastating. While we of course encourage back-ups, we also want to 
give you a fighting chance to recover your laptop. At LoJack for Laptops, our 
recovery rate is nearly 75%. 
LoJack for Laptops offers the only theft-recovery service offering you patented 
persistent technology alongside our experienced Theft Recovery Team, who have to 
date recovered over 30,000 stolen devices. At the same time, you can take advantage 
of our remote lock and data delete functions, ensuring that your personal information 
doesn't lead to identity theft or more. Imagine what thieves could do with the creative 
materials lost by these comediennes! 
So, if you want to protect your laptop and your ideas, come to LoJack for 
Laptops.
