I'm from india also...and here N900 is not released..so I think the phone thief most probably will not know how to flash N900. 
So feeling little bit safe.

Ive thought about the following for now.
1. taking a pic
2. switching on gps to track
3. sending a text back ( with IMSI/location/etc)
4. callback with screen off and mic enabled
5. remote wipe
6. lock phone and never be able to unlock ( manually , but a secret text msg can unlock it of course when you get it back :-) )
trying to keep it minimalistic to start off with
however , these are just ideas that I have, and faint knowledge on how to go about it,
will start some serious work once ive sorted out some time for myself from the daily bread earningboring stuff that I do 9am-5pm !

An other idea would be to install the x11vnc (remote desktop) together with the dyndns ip tool.
Everytime the thief goes online, the new ip will be updated you can get control of the device.
Get the thiefs contacts and call them to get more information and tell them about the stolen device.

"athief" is a python script.
Instructions:
1. Open this script, set your phone number in variable (my_number)
2. Run this script once, you'll get your imsi code in message
3. Open script again set the IMSI code in (my_imsi)
4. Change the variable (my_number), set the number where to send the message if phone is stollen.
5. Edit the crontab and set desired period to run this script.
Also you can read a comments in the script configure it freely and also can change it to.
If you have any ideas tell me or join to my project.
You'll agree with me: The thief in many cases has no tech knowledge. So after stealing your phone he will change the SIM card, so when when phone is on this script will check the IMSI that in script with IMSI of current SIM card. If IMSI in script does not equal with IMSI of current SIM card it will send a message to number which you set in the script (my_number - variable) in given periods (crontab)
In my country (Azerbaijan) it's easy to find the stollen phone if you know the phone number and / or IMSI code. Thiefs in Azerbaijan has no tech abilities. If he would be a "techman" he wouldn't steal my phone.

Firefox tells me the "athief" link is an "Untrusted connection" 
I used to use Phone Guardian between my N73 and N95. Sent my nephew off across a field with the N95 and sent the alert text from the N73. I could hear that thing going off well over 100m away
He came running back with his fingers jammed in his ears.
But I suppose as long as a lot of people still wouldn't know what to do with the N900 if they were given one, I'd say we were pretty safe anyway. They'd probably try and eat it first.
