Inside Our 28,000 Recoveries

We recently announced that the Absolute Investigations and Recovery Services helped recover our 28,000th stolen computer! These recoveries were made possible by our skilled Theft Recovery Team, who together have nearly 1000 years experience in law enforcement, by our relationships with law enforcement agencies around the world and by our Computrace persistence technology and LoJack for Laptops products. Over 450 laptops are recovered every month by our team. In recovering 28,000 stolen devices, Absolute Software has also helped law enforcement pursue other crimes: “The Investigations and Recovery Services team works closely with police to recover stolen devices. But often the most important impact is the forensic evidence and other critical information we collect, which helps law enforcement lay charges and put criminals behind bars,” states John Livingston, Chairman and CEO at Absolute Software. What does 28,000 devices look like? Well, if you stacked those laptops up one on top of another, they would make a tower at least 2750 feet high… or twice the height of the Empire State Building! We have shared some of our top recoveries of the past year to celebrate this achievement including closing the cases on insider theft, violent home invasion, recovering $70,000 in stolen goods, recoveries of laptops that travel the globe and many more interesting stories. See the full details of these recovery stories here. This milestone confirms that our patented technology, process, and approach to managed theft recovery is, by far, the most successful – and only proven – theft recovery solution available on the market today. The reason we continue to safely recover devices on behalf of our customers lies in the strength of our technology combined with our global network of Theft Recovery Investigators and trusted relationships with over 6,775 law enforcement agencies worldwide.
