Remote Erase Completed on Macbook Pro

My laptop was stolen from my home on 7/1, and I initiate remote erase so no data can be retrieved. I just checked my Find My and noticed that it now shows status of Erase Completed on 7/12. Does this mean the Macbook was connected to WiFi? Is there a way to retrieve the IP and maybe the location of where it was connected?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.4

Hello, chenchr!


Thanks for reaching out to the Apple Support Communities! That's a great question you have about erasing your Mac remotely and being able to track the Mac. Check out this article If your Mac is lost or stolen. Specifically:


"If you don't think you can recover your missing Mac, you can erase it remotely. This deletes all of your data from your Mac and prevents anyone else from accessing that information. When you erase your Mac, all of your information is deleted from the device, and you won't be able to find it using Find My."


So once the Mac has been erased, it can't be tracked anymore with Find My.


Cheers!
