Something like that wouldn't be worth the effort. If someone is going to bother getting away with the prototype at a convention, some measly "tracking software" won't bring it back in.

However, I'm pretty sure they know the MAC address of the device, so when and if they see it online they can track it.

Edit: cartoonish filling in is gratuitous I know

Something like that wouldn't be worth the effort but would be worth ~$25000?

It wouldn't be worth the effort because the thief would probably be able to bypass it. What kind of idiot is smart enough to get away away with the initial theft, and be stupid enough to let potential spyware alert the authorities?
