Stolen Laptop - With a 'Sting' in its Tail!

LONDON, December 14 - The trial was held at Isleworth Crown Court of Terri Vary, on
30th November 2009, for receiving stolen goods. She was sentenced to 7 months
imprisonment, suspended for 2 years, plus a Community Sentence of 120 hours.

This was a unique case, as one of the stolen items she had
received; a Sony Laptop was never found, so the guilty verdict was only
achieved as a result of monitored data from the laptop. Police did not have
the laptop as evidence for the prosecution.

Unknown to the thieves, the Laptop had EvoForesight Home
Edition, Computer Monitoring Software installed, (the 'sting'). As soon as
Vary received the laptop and started using it, everything was being invisibly
monitored and recorded.

The data collected included her home address, credit card
details and all secret passwords to social networking sites, and much more,
through its unique Keylogging monitoring. EvoForesight also recorded all
emails sent and received, IM/Chat messaging, websites visited and searches
made. There was no activity on the computer that could not be seen!

Originally pleading not guilty to receiving the stolen laptop;
the monitored data proved that she had in fact been using the stolen laptop
for a period of 8 days in May, until the time she was arrested as a result of
a search warrant being obtained.

The laptop was never found as Vary claimed it was broken, so threw
it away!
