Something Else Removed From An Accidental Plan

Another feature removed from an Accidental Plan is Lojack.  What is Lojack?  Lojack is a service that helps recover a stolen laptop.  How does it work?

Once you install the Lojack software, your laptop becomes traceable.  When a thief steals your laptop and logs on to the Internet, a ping tells the retrieval service the connection location.  The Internet Service Provider (ISP,) which connects the customer to the Internet, assigns a unique number to their client.  The IP address helps to locate any home or place of business  There are ways to hide your IP address but we are speaking in simple terms.

 All the owner has to do is report the stolen laptop to the police and tell the Lojack administrator.  Lojack works with the police to arrest the criminal and recover the stolen laptop.

However, here is the catch!  Lojack only works when the hard drive remains as is.  Here is the gamble.  If the thief is stupid and does not recover the hard drive, (remove all current information and take it back to factory settings,) he or she loses.  An intelligent thief will recover the hard drive and wipe out all current information, including Lojack.  Most likely, this thief wants to sell, rather than use the laptop.

 Therefore, if you think a smart thief will lift your laptop, Lojack is not for you.  However, if you think a common thief might steal your laptop to use then you can buy Lojack and install it on your computer.  If you are, or have a student, going to college, this might be for you.  If you travel, a laptop lock might be a better choice.

When the Accidental Plan included Lojack, the plan was much easier to sell!  The value of a laptop Accidental Plan continues to decrease.  However, because most people do not know the missing features, it is the job of the salesperson to highlight what remains.

Now you know!  Do not be dazzled by the highlights!
