Use Prey. iCloud's Mac tracking feature is fairly basic: Prey gives you geolocating of the computer and make the computer sound an alarm like Find My Mac, but adds the following:
-Webcam image of the person using it
-List of opened applications
-Screenshot of what the user is doing
-IP address
-List of nearby Wi-Fi networks
-List of things the user has modified in your computer
(all emailed to you every 10 minutes after you set the computer's status as stolen)
Best of all it's open source & free.
You can also look into Orbicule Undercover- I've heard good things about that too.

I just discovered it today and have found that it works quite well for laptops, but it's totally useless on an iPhone, since it requires the app to be running (at least in the background) and GPS to be on at all times.
I installed prey, and dragged to apps and installed and cannot see it AT ALL. enter in emails etc...

Don't drag it to applications. Just install it straight off the dmg.
Of course you can't see it- that's the point. After initial registration it becomes invisible. You don't want the person who steals your laptop to know you have tracking software just for him/her to remove it, do you?
