Someone stole my laptop from my home and i would like to no if u can track it with my serial number. It is 6A302956W I have it registered in my name, Michelle Kear, mailing address of 10155 Peppermint Cir #66 Jamestown, Ca 95327. I have filed a report with the local shieffs department but they are not being very helpful, my case number is #11-2042 deputy D. Vasquez #1585 (209)533-5815 is the person that took my report. I tried logging onto my Facebook today and it came back with a security breech saying my last log in was in Southern California and asked if I had been in that area and logged in. Since I have not been down there they had me reset my password. Can you help me locate my laptop??

If your mobile phone is lost or stolen you can inform your cell phone provider with your IMEI number. Your cell phone provider can then put the serial number on a shared database. This list stops this particular phone from registering on any network and will be useless for anyone even if the mobile phone's SIM card is changed.

the bank should honour the debit from the theft
notify all service providers of the stolen serial numbers so that any attempt to connect can be traced
contact the FBI as well
what happened to the daily use limit that you should have had on then card or the bank flagging the same purchases repeated on the same equipment and stopping payment on more than 2

call the police. as far as I know DSI's have no tracking devices in them.

Yo! i'm afraid yo might not be able to get it again but if you have your serial number and your sure of the location, you can try to confirm if yours is there.

If you have already registered your laptop, I'd suggest calling the 1-800 number and providing them with your original purchase information, proving you were the original owner and then ask your question of them. Sometimes, stolen laptop which are in warranty are then taken back into the manufacturer in order to try and obtain a refurbished replacement, and this is a good way to track it.

I know this isn't an elegant solution, and hope you find your laptop soon.

If there was GPS software on it is one way. The other is to report serial # to police and they notify pawn shops locally to list of "hot" items to watch for.

not likely, unless you have the serial number. you can make a police report and if the item is pawned it will find its way back to you. back tracking a stolen gps will be impossible unless yu have a tracking devise installed on the gps.

If you register your computer with toshiba and explain the situation. You should be able to go toshiba website or call them, and they should be able to give you a serial, after verifing addational information.

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.
