I recently found this blog post detailing how a well known Canadian security program Computrace (created by Vancouver security group Absolute Software) describes how it could be turned against the owner. Here is Absolute's response.
Irregardless of the likelyhood of such a security breech (the point being that if someone steals your laptop and it has something worth stealing, they have alot of ways to discover them and can be sucessful) it only points to another obvious reason to develop security measures for PC use, including data drive encryption (which I can not stress enough) via open source programs like TrueCrypt. (Again, which I personally use and totally endorse!)
I hope these links help.
