Losing your iPod, flash drive or digital camera really sucks, getting them stolen is even worse. A company called Gadget Theft Recovery System has a software application that you can install to the root of any USB device once registered. If you ever loose registered devices you come back to the Gadget Theft site and flag the item as missing. The next time the thief plugs your USB gadget into their system you get an email with information that can help you and police find the their. The data you get includes the offenders private IP address, location (country, city, state and zip), username, computer name, host name of ISP and internal network IP address. Personally I’m not sure how prone to help you retrieve your iPod the cops will be even when you are equipped with this data. At least you will feel better knowing you did all you can by using this service. About Everything USB
