If you had Find My set up on your MacBook Pro, you may want to put it into Lost Mode, and check to see if it has been able to report its approximate location.

If your Mac is lost or stolen - Apple Support


If you do see a location, do not go there yourself to confront criminals in person. Give the location to the police.


Beware of messages that you may get from "Apple Support", the "Police", etc. claiming that they want to reunite you with your computer, and asking you to enter your credentials, click a link, or remove the computer from your Apple Account. These messages will be from criminals or other dishonest people who need your help to remove Activation Lock so they can set up your computer as fully their own.
