I can think of a lot of things but I'll leave that to your imagination.
Now that's a good idea. Perhaps a poison pill that somehow locks or disables the NIT once that file arrives.

You know this suggests a simpler solution: password protect the NIT so that you have to login to use it. At least that way, the thief would have to work hard to be able to do anything with it.
