Maybe if you whistle REALLY loud....
Here boy. Come on back. I'll give you some RAM if you come back.
No worries. Just some replies in jest.
Your idea may very well be the norm in the future. As r.j.s says:
Download Mackeeper.
It has an Anti Theft feature.
It logs the location of your Mac when it is connected to the internet and if your Mac is stolen you go onto the MacKeeper website and log in with your username/password and go to the anti theft section and click that you Mac was stolen.
Then the next time the Mac is online MacKeeper will take a log of its location etc and someone from MacKeeper customer services will phone you and tell you the location of the Mac and how to work with the police to get your Mac back you will also get a Email with all the data from the log of your Mac.
Another feature of the Anti Theft is it will wake your Mac every 5 minutes and turn on the webcam and take a snapshot from the webcam to see if it can catch a snapshot of the thief on camera.

Provided they don't simply erase and reinstall the system software, which is what anybody with a brain would do.
State Farm isn't going to cover tech support or manufacturer's defect, like AppleCare will. Insurance and warranties are two different animals. One doesn't preclude the need or value of the other.
What about the LoJack for Mac Programs?
My wife has MobileMe on her iPhone and we also got it on my MacBook-Pro. I too, noticed the FindMe Application does not list the Mac.... Wouldn't one of the the 'LoJack for Mac Programs' suffice? I mean, a Notebook PC is a little large to misplace around the home or office, and the real issue for concern is theft. It will be loaded on my Mac asap.
