Stolen MacBook Air 2019 without Find My Device

I had my MacBook Air 2019 stolen and can't add it to fine my devices because I deleted accidentally.

I want to track it

Sorry, you can only add a device to Find My when it is in your possession.


Also see the information in If your Mac is lost or stolen - Apple Support including the following:


If you can't find your Mac or didn't set up Find My

Find My Mac is the only Apple service that can help track or locate a lost Mac. If you didn’t set up Find My Mac before your Mac was lost, or you can’t locate it, these steps might help you protect your data:

  1. Change your Apple ID password to prevent anyone from accessing your iCloud data or using other services (such as iMessage or iTunes) from your Mac.
  2. Change your passwords for other accounts you use with your Mac, including email, banking, and social media sites like Facebook or Twitter.
  3. Report your lost or stolen Mac to local law enforcement. They might request the serial number of your computer. You can find this information on the original box or receipt you received when you purchased your Mac.
