.ssh somewhere on that container with ~/.ssh linking to it;

A normal account would require unlocking the disk, which would expose everything.
Last time I looked at Prey (over a year ago) it didn't support installation to the recovery partition. But they may have added support since then.
I don't want to escalate a lost laptop to a felony charge.
