Hi all!
This is my first post, but I have a legitimate need for a tracking device. I live on a college campus, after only one week things are being stolen, and I would presume this is by the same person.
This being said, my general idea is to lay a trap if you will, with a bug inside of it that will be stolen to lead us backto our things (hopefully). So, what I would like to do is see if someone could help me with a tracking device. Is there a way I can build a device I can track with my XPS M1530 Laptop? Alternatively, I suspect the thief lives near me, so all I need is something very LOW power that I can track fairly accurately, if I could find a GUI interface with directional arrows that would be nice, but whatever works.
In addition, if the stolen goods are smuggled out of the immediate vicinity I would like to build an additional transmitter with an extended (though less than 1 mile) range. My campus is very small and this would lead me roughly to the more accurate and lower power tracking device.
If anyone has any detailed ideas, suggestions, or advice, I would be more than appreciative so that I can put this to an end.
