For OS X there's actually a very neat application that works with this problem. It's a piece of software that checks the status of your laptop against a server, now if you have called the company and reported your laptop stolen the status will tagged as such and the macbook will start using it's builtin webcam to take screenshots and report back as much information as it can. This shouldn't be too difficult to make for Linux as well.. The only downside is that most PC laptops get equiped with webcams that have a led next to it when the cam is turned on.. macbooks do not so it's harder to see if the cam is active on a macbook.
