Stolen computer... is it trackable?

I just got my laptop stolen, can it be identified if it connects to the
internet (has a Firewall installed)? Is it sciencefiction?

You bet it can be tracked -- as long as a tracking application has been
installed on the computer before the theft. It's too late now (the FBI
reports that 97% of stolen computers are never returned to their rightful
owners), but take a look at laptop security software for your next laptop:

BTW, this is a newsgroup for discussions on Security for Microsoft Access,
the database application, not computer security, so you might find better
recommendations if you post your question to a relevant newsgroup.
