I wonder if you could jury-rig a prox sensor with Bluetooth, given BTs
30-foot range. I.e. if it loses connection with your phone, your phone
alerts you.

Best Regards,

I think this may interest some people here.

I always say, whenever laptops are mentioned: "Forget everything else, I
have nightmares already!".

The loss of information due to laptop thefts is extremely high, here is an
innovation that may possibly be as useless as car theft alarms (unless you
are nearby and didn't leave the laptop in the car), but it's a good start.
This may actually be useful.

What I'd like to see is a GPS device with wireless communication to my cell
phone. It can be a quiet indicator, or perhaps ring when it is being moved..
or even when I move too far away from it.
