Laptop Security software

Folks, you always come up with good solutions.

This is my first time to jump in with a question.
I am the Tech Specialist fro St. George's Independent School, Memphis, TN
Last year at Lausanne's Laptop Institute someone told me about a website
that had an open source solution that you could use for security purposes. I
have misplaced that note.

I am looking for software that could be installed that would help locate a
stolen computer. I need it as we begin to image computers for next year.

It actually could not be deleted by a thief that lifted a computer and would
take a picture with the built-in camera if needed. Then, It would send it
back information to the owner.

You seem to be a good source of good open source solutions....so...

Have you run across a solution that would work on a Mac that is Open source?
Since we are an urban campus we have had some laptops walk right out of the
building!
Thanks,
