Install prey project. I create a guest account on my Mac so if I lose it, people will actually try to use it and connect it to WiFi.

  They won't need the guest account with this product.

    You use the guest account as a honeypot so they open the Mac and use it for long enough (without wiping it) for you to get a wifi connection and can get the location with Prey :-)

      Sure, that's a best-case scenario. How about no WiFi in the vicinity and a couple of accidental knocks on the phone?

        Haha, yeah - in that case you're screwed ;-) Edit: although ideally Prey will still be running. They'll just be able to run amok in the meantime...!

  If you're using Filevault for full disk encryption you can't have Prey installed and use it on an open guest account. You can have a guest account and use the iCloud 'Find My Mac' though. But that's exactly what I did on my last Mac (which wasn't using Filevault).
