One of my friends also had his MacBook Pro with Prey installed stolen. However, the police did retrieve it for him (he used wifi scanning around the area to determine the exact location). The police also didn't share any information about the person who had it, probably since it was stolen then sold. From start to finish, the ordeal was probably two-three weeks (enough for a new one to be shipped). Although this is one of the good stories, he definitely takes security more seriously now.
