Getting your electronics stolen really sucks. You spend all this money on a new iPod or laptop only to have some sleazebag swipe it from your backpack on the subway — it just hurts. Until now, there wasn't much you could do to get your stolen toys back. But a new company is looking to make it easier to retrieve your stolen goods.

GadgetTrak is a small piece of software you can load on any portable USB device. When you report it as stolen, the software then loads itself on any computer it's plugged into, starts gathering data, then lets you know where it is. It's like lowjack for gadgets. The best part? The software is free. Yep, you can go download it now and load it on any devices you'd like. Now you have no excuse to worry about getting your stuff stolen, so go ahead and flaunt that gadget in any bad neighborhood you want.
