There was an incident where an Apple MacBook was stolen, but it was able to be returned to it’s owner because of an application named Hidden:
“Hidden tracks your computer’s location, takes real time photos of the thief and screenshots of them using your computer…
“Hidden is a small application which sits idle on your computer until you need it. When your computer gets stolen simply login to your online Tracking Control Panel and mark your computer as stolen. Hidden will kick into action and locate your stolen computer anywhere on the planet, collect photos of the thief and screen shots of the computer in use.”

If your phone is stolen, you might be able to get it back.
