REPORT: An elementary school was the target of a well-planned burglary where 29 laptops were stolen
from a locked cart. Of the 29 laptops stolen, 15 of them were equipped with Absolute Software’s Theft
Recovery Software. All 15 laptops started tracking unauthorized user access and led the Investigations
and Recovery Team to identify several suspects. Working with numerous members of the local Police
Department, search warrants were executed which resulted in 15 computers and 8 pounds of drugs
being recovered. Arrests were made for possession of stolen property as well as possession for the sale
of narcotics. Police also stopped an additional suspect’s vehicle that was seen checking out another
school, potentially saving that school from a devastating computer theft.
Through three search warrants and two probation searches, Absolute Software helped police recover
over $20,200 in laptops and $34,000 is narcotics.
