I think it would be torturous to have the IP of my stolen NIT but unable to do a thing about it. Don't say that you could inform the authorities, ya right. Perhaps if you could set a flag at the server end that when set would do something useful on the NIT when it phoned home. The NIT ssh connection could be setup to allow that to happen securely. I can think of a lot of things but I'll leave that to your imagination.
