This idea is based on dumb criminals. There is a vast difference between what can be done and what will be done. Again...Me...N00b... My understanding of Jasager is that it relies on the trust of the device/computer. If you say, "Yes I'm your home network" to every device, then they will connect to you and report their MAC. Correct? Also in the US most data plans are limited to a certain number of MB's or GB's without overage charges. Most people switch over to the WiFi when they get to work/home/school for two reasons. First, they can limit charges for mobile broadband. Second, they get a much faster connection over WiFi than the crowded 4g. This is still assuming that only phones have built in WiFi and only phones are stolen.

Her phone had Cyanogenmod on it and "Find My Phone" was registered with my account, but they stopped that service a while back. I don't have much hope to get it back. It's not just her phone that I'm thinking about. I'm trying to think more altruistic here. One thing that all wifi devices have in common is the existence of a MAC address. On the iPhone question, I assumed that the device would trust its home network and not randomize the MAC address. Randomizing would break static IP/MAC filtering in routers. Am I missing something?

Let's start by saying I am a N00b compared to many of you guys/gals. When my daughter got her Galaxy S3 stolen at school, I started asking myself "What If?" There has to be an easy way to find the MAC addresses of mobile devices around you. I Googled around for an hour or so and found this link http://www.l8ntwifi.com/ . It is a new device offered by a police officer to find stolen devices by MAC address. My first thought, of course, was Jasager should be able to do this easily. What do you guys/gals think? Is there an easier way? Also... Would Jasager stop an iPhone from randomizing the MAC address?

It wasn't that long ago that Yoshi had that title.
