Tracking stolen PB PIN

Posters have refound their stolen PBs in various ways. One owner used Video Chat on another PB, adding the contact to call as the PIN of the stolen PB; after picking up he was told his PB was stolen etc.

Is there any other way, a log on at BES BIS, a log on anywhere using the PIN that can gather the IP address when the stolen PB logs on again, presumably with a new owner who has no idea it's been stolen?

I've changed my BB ID pass, and email, although some users suggest keeping it open in case a moral person sends you an email telling you where it is. As I lost it in a bank, surrounded by security and admin staff I doubt this person cares about who the BB belonged to.

Any comments much appreciated. Can advise other users not to go to this place I am at right now!!

You can report your PlayBook as stolen to RIM, and they can block the PIN I think, or place it on a list. I don't think there is a way to track your stolen PB.

Maybe with BlackBerry10 there will be something like protect. But as for now no.

My greatest fear is walking off and leaving it somewhere. I have taped my business card to the back of the PlayBook. If found there is a chance you may get it back.

Great Idea - if it works. I will do the same.
