I'm assuming that you'd use "Find My iPhone" (or iPad) to locate and wipe the device in case you discovered that someone rented it and never came back. I'm sort of curious how well that works, because I suspect it wouldn't take long for someone to try outright stealing a rented device. Could you count on police to follow that information to track down the stolen property and the thief?

Yes, I'm testing the "Find my iPhone" feature and it works how you expect. I've read some stories about spanish police using the geolocation data of stolen smartphones to help recover them. I still didn't come up with an answer to "What happens if someone brings the iPad back to their country?". Although I could locate it I probably couldn't recover it :-\ The only way is having a deposit from the credit card of the customer, but I don't like to retain some hundred bucks of someone who is on their holidays.
