the streets but even then the exact dot is off by up to 20 meters. If you are truly worried losing your laptop/phone then simply always sync your phone when charging it, have dropbox or sugar sync installed on your laptop and take out insurance for your mobile gadgets. I've never lost my cell phone, but I had found a iPhone in the back of taxi cab one Friday night while visiting Chicago. Instead of giving it to the cab driver, and risk having him not return it to the owner. I decided to take it back with me to my hotel, I called the owner's parents house (his phone wasn't locked), and provided my hotel name and said he could pick it up from the front desk. I had hidden the phone under a thick photo frame of some artwork on one of the floors and provided a envelope with riddles and clues, with instructions as to where the phone was located somewhere in the W hotel. When he came to the front desk and asked for his phone, the hotel staff gave him the letter instead and set him on a treasure hunt, and all the staff helped him as well.... When I came down the next day, the manager came down and all the staff couldn't believe how creative that was, that everyone has such an amazing time, including the iPhone owner, and ended up comping my Hotel room for the week, with dinners and drinks included!
