Despite what it says in my signature, I'm no thief.  That said, were I to
steal laptop, the first action I'd take is to remove the drive before
powering it up and connecting it to any network - especially the internet:

If I'm after the data, I'd want the drive sandboxed to prevent the original
owner from doing exactly what you're looking to do.

If I'm after the hardware, I don't care about the data and would format the
drive on another machine to avoid the hassles of trying to crack my way in
to do the same thing (format the drive).

+1 for encryption from me.
