    No. The computer must have its Wi-Fi or Ethernet enabled and connected to the Internet in order to be tracked.

     

    What To Do If Your Mac Is Lost Or Stolen

     

    If you activated Find My Mac before it was lost or stolen, you can track it only if it is connected to the Internet. What you cannot do is track your computer using a serial number or other identifying numbers. You cannot expect Apple or anyone else to find your computer for you. You cannot recover your loss unless you ensure your device for such loss. It is not covered by your warranty. Be sure to report the loss or theft to the local police. Have the serial number handy. If your Mac is found it cannot be returned to you if you don’t have the serial number and proof of purchase.

     

    Find My Mac can be used from Find My Phone at iCloud.com and via Find My Phone on your iDevice.

     

          The following is third-party anti-theft software:

     

               1.  MacTrack 7.5.0

               2.  VUWER 1.7

               3.  Undercover 5.1.1

               4.  LoJack for Laptops

               5. Hidden 2.0

               6. Prey 0.6.2

    If your Mac is turned off or offline, you can still use Find My Mac to request a notification when it’s located, or lock or erase your Mac remotely. The next time your Mac is online, the actions take effect. If you remove your Mac from Find My Mac when it's offline, your requests are cancelled.
