I would sign up for the No-ip.com DNS service. It has an option to update the IP as a windows service, which will be invisible to the user! ... So asuming that the thief is stupid enough to go online, without reinstalling everything, the IP will be updated and you will be able to check it at no-ip.com! ... the cool bonus is, of course, that you get a very good DNS service too

You can create a free account here.

Nice idea Crispy

There's also an app that logs your keystrokes to an internet server, in the event that a thief goes online and types out words that could point to where he lives, names etc. So you can check online to see what's been typed from your stolen PC/Laptop.

I don't have the site URL at hand I'm afraid, I didn't quite trust cos I had the assumption it was probably spyware that could log my passwords etc.

this is the thing for laptops: PC Phone Home

PC Phone Home is what I used in the past when I rented notebooks. The management responds very fast and professionally when such an incident happens.
