I've lost laptops before, and always called Apple to make a note of the serial number. What I'm not sure of is whether or not Apple would hold the laptop if it was flagged, or return it back.
I'm second guessing my decision to FileVault the entire disc on the MBA, because I think this prevents automated login. The honeypot account makes a ton of sense.
