Eight Laptops Stolen from Texas School Recovered
In March 2006, a laptop cart with 8 laptop computers was stolen from the computer lab of Mesquite High School one night. Within a month, the Mesquite PD had recovered all 8 laptops with the help of Computrace. Two juveniles are facing charges.

“That laptop cart represented one-third of the high school’s entire career and technology laptop fleet,” says Judy Rollins, Director of Career & Technology at Mesquite ISD. “A theft like that affects students, teachers and learning outcomes. I can’t thank Absolute Software enough for getting them back into the hands of our students.”
