AbsoluteR Software Corporation (TSX: ABT), Vancouver, Canada, a provider of firmware-based, patented, Computer Theft Recovery, Data Protection and Secure Asset TrackingT solutions has announced that its laptop management and theft recovery services have helped solve several recent cases of laptop theft in U.S. airports. The stories include: recovering a business laptop stolen while its owner was on her way to Germany, breaking up an internal theft ring at Tampa International Airport and recovering a Spokane traveler's laptop allegedly stolen from baggage handling at Phoenix's Sky Harbor International Airport. According to John Livingston, Chairman and CEO of Absolute, "New research from the Ponemon Institute sponsored by Dell indicates that as many as 12,000 computers are lost weekly and up to 600,000 are lost or stolen annually from U.S. airports.1 These statistics are further evidence that even in high security environments, laptops continue to be stolen at alarming rates. In our experience, a great proportion of these thefts have been from checked baggage. With ComputraceR and ComputraceR LoJackR for LaptopsT, our clients have the peace of mind that their computer and the sensitive information on it are protected as they travel. Recovering computers with a high success rate would not be possible without the assistance of investigative experts, such as the Absolute Theft Recovery Team."
