Dutch filmmaker Anthony Van der Meer published his 2015 thesis short from Willem de Kooning Academy in South Holland online in December 2016. It's a brilliant piece of work that managed to be touching, alarming, and informative at the same time. His documentary, which already has over 6 million views on YouTube, covered the journey made by a stolen smartphone and how the theft and ensuing tracking affected all parties involved.

The video utilizes many screenshots, audio clips, and camera recordings that were taken remotely after the device was stolen. Van der Meer was able to capture this footage by using a popular Android security app called Cerberus that allowed him to monitor the thief from the safety of his home studio.

If you haven't seen the video already, it's definitely worth a watch, so check it out below. But one of the first things you'll notice is how Van der Meer set everything up by installing Cerberus as a system app, which meant that the thief could not remove the tracking software by factory resetting the device. It was an ingenious move—one that ensured that his stolen device would never be truly lost—so if you want an extra layer of security, I'll show you how to do it below.
