Sorry for your loss, this brings up an idea though.
I'm still new to linux, but it seems powerful.

Would it be possible to have a job run when connecting to the internet?
Maybe have an email sent to a predefined address with ip, date, time, and gps data if a connection is made outside your network you've defined as home.

Seriously. A password protected app, that automatically polls a server every three hours for a status you've set. If the status is 'missing' and the device is online, then it sends an email to notify you that the device is online, and automatically and silently updates device coordinates on the same server every 5 minutes. You can use the server's website to track it silently without the thief knowing.

It would also be great if you could also set off an alarm (maximum volume) and password-lock the screen when you got close.

Now if only there was a way to make the impending confrontation easier

YARR!
