While this is a really clever idea, and I'm really sorry to hear about your computer, I can't help but wonder if you would have a greater impact by, say, designing an online social media campaign to convince thousands of people to spend $30 on MacBook lock cables, over saving a few computers after the fact.
If you set up a one-page infographic and linked to lock cables via Amazon referral links, you might even have the potential to make a few bucks to cover hosting, beer, or donating lock cables to a local underprivileged hackers' group.

What you are proposing is a good preventive measure, but stealing is a crime and we need to have better solutions to handle it whenever it happens.
