Hey guy ran across this over at XDA, went and found some information about it and gave it a try. This is a free service for anyone who is enrolled on Verizon with Asurion Total Equipment Coverage (TEC). It's called Mobile Recovery.

(It also works with, *shutter*, BlackBerry / Windows Mobile / and Palm devices)
It runs in the background waiting on commands from a text message sent from their site. It can be configured to not report GPS all the way down to every 5 minutes. You can login to their site should someone steal your phone or you simply lose it. Heck even if you can't find it in your house.
Once you download it to your phone and accept the terms you create a username and pin code via the app on the phone. Once you have it registered (takes seconds) you can goto their website and login and locate your phone, lock your phone (via the app not Android lock screen), wipe your phone (only if you use VZW backup assistant eck..), sound an alarm on your phone, and get a google map for the corresponding options.
Really great I installed it and tried it out tonight and it works pretty good. Run in the background but doesn't really use anything! Wonderful thing and in my opinion another great advantage to having insurance on your phone. (I'm sure it cuts their costs on a phone here and there.)
Anywho figured I would point it out for all of you.
