My laptop just got stolen from my car. Is there some way to track or find it?

Only if you have LoJack installed or if you have a cell phone you left in the car or even an iPod you might be able to get the location of your car... Good luck I hope you find you car

Unless you have a security app on the device that can provide a locking feature and send GPS corrdinates, there is no way to track a stolen or lost laptop/tablet/phone.

Have you reported it to your local police? FixYa has no way of tracking your laptop, even had you bothered to tell us what part of the world to start looking for it.

Not that I know of.

You can install a tracking software in the computer, for in case it's stolen, but this has to be BEFORE it is stolen.

Rest assured whomever stole it will get their just reward.
Karma, you know.

Where was it stolen? I'm pretty sure the only way to find it is if it had Lowjack on it.

I do not really think this sort of technology is really with us right now. For future reference , there is software you can install when it is in your possesion in order to log in to the computer if it is stolen such as preyproject.com

If you have the MAC address you might be able to track it down if its ever used.
Also try contacting your manufacturer if you have any documentation or serial numbers of your laptop. Your manufacturer or retail store might have a service, or can track whether someone else re-registers it,

Besides that all you can really do is hope.
When an item is stolen many times its hard to track down because of the surplus amount of stolen items.

The MAC address i think is ur best bet, but you'd have to dig around and its not going to be worth it, because the mac address is officially embeded on your laptops hardware, Most thieves are not smart enough to realize that.

Computers can not be tracked what-so-ever unles steps have been taken to do so beforehand. The only way you could tell if it was possibly being used is if you had a instant messenger program that starts when the computer starts.

When the computer connects to the internet the instant messenger would show you as online. You could then possibly get the ip of your stolen computer and then try to locate it through help from your isp and a lawyer.

However stolen computer vanish faster then stolen cash. Hard drives are wiped and serial numbers are taken off.

If this was a business laptop or if you had insurance on it, report it and fill out a report where it was stolen.

Do you still have the original box? the numbers, id etc are on it as well.
