Should I rootkit my own machine?

Two weeks ago a scary thing happened to me, I left my laptop in a coffee shop, and attempts to locate it have not been successful. Basically I know someone out there is cruising my keyboard. The only thing I can think is, I should have installed a rootkit on my own machine. What do other people do to protect your data, or have a little fun, in the event your laptop is stolen / lost?


Check out something like Prey, it's like the "Find My Mac" for Android/PC/Mac/iOS. I had it on all my devices, but I don't really take them out enough to make it worthwhile.
