Through the use of Absolute’s forensic tools, the team managed to analyse a number of texts, emails and screenshots which enabled them to identify the user.

The team then located the home address of the suspect and aided by the police, they visited the house the following day.

Within ten minutes of the detective being at the suspect’s house, the thief handed the smartphone in and it was returned to its rightful owner.

Derek Skinner, also from Absolute Software, said: 'We believe LoJack for Mobile Devices will act as an important deterrent in the fight against the rise of mobile phone crime.'

LoJack for Mobile Devices costs from £29.95 for a one-year subscription.

据英国《每日邮报》11月8日报道，Absolute 软件公司推出了一款革命性软件，可以帮助用户跟踪被盗手机。更令人惊奇的是，即便恢复出厂设置也无法将该软件删除。

这款名为LoJack的软件让用户可以远程锁住失窃手机，并对其进行定位，删除敏感文件以防身份被盗。Absolute的调查和恢复服务团队（Investigations and Recovery Services team）会进一步通过被盗跟踪服务系统追踪手机，并与执法机构合作在全球范围内找回手机。

与市面上功能类似的软件“寻找我的iPhone”（Find my iPhone）、“隐藏”（Hidden）不同，恢复出厂设置和全部删除等方式对Lojack而言是无效的，它被安装在安卓手机系统的固件上。
