Prey is a program that you can install on your computer or laptop that will act as a snitch when it is stolen.
If you are ever unlucky enough to lose your laptop or have someone come into your house and take one of your computers, you can activate this program (from its Web using the user you created when you installed it) and let it send you reports about what is happening with your computer.
Once it is activated every twenty minutes it will send you a detailed report that will include the programs that are being used, screenshots and if it is a laptop with webcam it will send you photos of the thief, or of the person who is using it
If you want you can tell the thief you're spying on him. Prey can send messages to your screen or emit a loud, unpleasant beep.
