There are a few things you could have done before your portable or desktop Mac goes missing.


• If your Mac is lost or stolen - Apple Support

https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204756


(You need to set up Find My Mac before it goes missing. • To turn it on, simply

choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Apple ID, then click iCloud.) 

• If you believe that your Mac was stolen, contact your local law enforcement.


If you can't find your mac.. these steps may help protect data + minimize loss.

• Change your Apple ID password - Apple Support


To post product identifiers does no practical good; except perhaps help the thief?!

Usually the ASC hosts edit 'serial numbers' from open internet, for your protection.
