My friend has had this work when his laptop was stolen, in Australia. He had a program that allowed him to interact with the system, find the MAC address of the wireless router, and use google's database to get an address. After handing the information to the police, they went there, and retrieved his laptop. He wasn't told any details about what happened to the person, probably due to privacy concerns.
