Re: Looking for software solution to manage loaner laptops
As for an Employee stealing the laptop, your Payroll department already has all the necessary info to persue an Arrest Warrant against the Employee for Theft (IF that should ever happen to occur.)
What You SHOULD be MORE concerned about, is the Security/Confidentiality of any Company Private/Proprietary info on the Laptop's HD, Should it become Stolen FROM the Employee (either while at Home, or on a Business Trip, etc.)... 
I'd Recommend using Hard Disk ENCRYPTION software on ALL Laptops (or any other PCs that may need to be removed from the company premesis for Business needs), and Ensure that they are Each using a Unique, STRONG Encryption Key/Password, that ONLY the Authorized Employee (and the Company's IT/Security Dept) will know.
The Cost of Stolen Hardware is NOTHING compared to the Potential Cost of Compromised Confidential Business Data...
