Another silly thought - if you can ssh to the box, since you know the IP
it's on atm, record some file then send it to the computer then play it

Hello there, crack smoking laptop theif. We have identified your address
by the IP address you are using right now. If you don't want the Anchorage
Police to stick a billy club in your USB port, return the laptop at once!

Okay, it's early, I'm tech-ed out and enjoying a lazy Saturday.
