MacBook Pro stolen a few months ago and now on Facebook Marketplace

Apple does not get involved with allegations of stolen Apple products, and does NOT maintain a registry.

Even if you enabled 'Find My Mac' and can geo-locate your device, remember that original owners have been severely injured attempting to recover devices themselves.

This job requires consultation of your local law enforcement, and they can advice you EXACTLY what to do to proceed. This could involve 'buying it back', using a traceable payment method like a check, then 'following the money' for law enforcement to charge the seller.

What Makes you so Certain this is YOUR Device?

Photos are photos --specs are specs --not that internal hardware cannot be modifies on a 2024 MacBook, because all is soldered on to the LogicBoard to operate as one device.

Use Find My: Use the Find My App to Locate a Missing Device or Item - Apple Support

If Find My was enabled with this, then you may be able to locate it there. Note that this is based off of the last time the device they were connected to was itself connected to the internet.

"MacBook Pro stolen a few months ago and now on Facebook Marketplace: The only way certain was to compare some of the wear and tear and confirm the serial number. My laptop was an early 2009-2014 edition. Not a 2024. thank you for the response.”
