There was no way to track his stolen MacBook because there was no tracking app installed. Somehow I blame myself for not spreading the tips on how to keep their MacBook safe.</p><p>If you own a MacBook or similar devices, there are several ways to keep your Mac safe. I hope these simple tips can increase the chance to get back your stolen devices or even preventing it from getting stolen.</p><!--more--><ul><li><strong>Install tracking</strong> app so you can track your stolen device. The app will send you several information like location, screenshot, and photo periodically where you can use them to track the thief. Personally, I use <a href="https://preyproject.com/" title="Prey Anti Theft: Track & find stolen Phones, Tablets and Laptops">Prey</a> for this.<li><strong>Enable guest account</strong> because the tracking app requires internet connection. Letting the thief login using guest account can let you fetch the information quickly without risking the modification of your existing files. You can also enable parental control for the guest account to prevent the thief accessing certain apps.<li><strong>Setup firmware password</strong> to ensure the thief can’t modify your installed OS by booting using another OS installation disc. Setting up firmware password can be done by booting using your OS installation disc and choose setup firmware password from the utility in menu bar. Apple provides documentation on how to <a href="https://support.apple.com/kb/ht1352" title="Setting up firmware password protection in Mac OS X - Support - Apple">enable firmware protection</a>.<li><strong>Stay alert</strong> when you bring your device around. Remember that the thief only take the chance given to him. By staying alert the whole time can prevent your device from getting stolen.<li><strong>Don’t bring it along</strong>. Wouldn’t it better to leave your device at home and enjoy your adventure out there without having to worry about it?</ul><p>I hope this post can serve as a reminder for my readers and visitors. If you’ve done everything you can to prevent your devices from getting stolen, then now it’s your responsibility to educate your close one to secure their devices.</p></article></section><aside class="related-posts"><h5>Related Posts</h5><div class="related-box"><div class="related-card"><div class="related-date">Jun 07, 2020</div><a href="/find-conflicting-shortucts-mac/"><div class="related-title">How to Find Conflicting Keyboard Shortcuts on Mac</div><div class="related-desc">Here's how you can detect and find conflicting keyboard shortcuts on Mac.</div></a><ul class="excerpt-tags"><li><a href="/tag/review">Review</a><li><a href="/tag/shortcutdetective">ShortcutDetective</a><li><a href="/tag/mac">Mac</a></ul></div><div class="related-card"><div class="related-date">May 12, 2020</div><a href="/setup-macos-web-development/"><div class="related-title">How to Set Up macOS for Web Development</div><div class="related-desc">Learn the best practices to set up and configure macOS for web development.</div></a><ul class="excerpt-tags"><li><a href="/tag/mac">Mac</a><li><a href="/tag/terminal">Terminal</a><li><a href="/tag/tutorial">Tutorial</a></ul></div><div class="related-card"><div class="related-date">Oct 20, 2016</div><a href="/remapping-hyper-key-macos-sierra/"><div class="related-title">Remapping Hyper Key in macOS Sierra</div><div class="related-desc">Karabiner has stopped working on macOS Sierra.
