How to prevent "Find My Mac" from being turned off?

Hey guys,


So I just bought a brand new Macbook Pro today (granted, it's the mid-2012 model, but it's still new from the store).


I want to take all steps possible to prevent theft of this expensive device. I've noticed that under System Preferences -> Icloud, there is an option to turn on and off "Find My Mac". Is there a command that I can run via Terminal that will keep "Find My Mac" turned on at all costs, so that it is impossible to turn it off?


I know that System Preferences prompts for a password to turn it on or off, but I want something even more secure.


Is there a way to permanently enable location services via CLI? Thanks!

MacBook Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9.1), Mid-2012 Macbook Pro 15"
