Found this pretty amusing - could have been more embaressing if he had had an inbuilt webcam.

Does anyone have any sort of built in "trojan" type software so that they can remotely monitor and deal with their pc? (as in not VNC)

Most laptop theft will result in a system being parted out or immediately sold through a non-paper trail process like a pawn shop or eBay. It's very rare (from my understanding) that someone steals a laptop that they intend to use them self.
