Unfortunately, if the location of the computer is not displayed in Find My, then there is nothing to be done but perhaps make a stolen property report to the police and your insurance company.


You may also remotely erase the computer to protect your data.

I hope you have a backup of your data.

it is unclear if you are using another Mac or iOS device in order to track...?


Have you given it time to be turned on, or connected(?)

My understanding is —Find My cannot locate a Mac if it is completely powered off


On line is one thing but powered on is another


I do see here

4. "Optionally, turn the Find My network on or off.

The Find My network is an encrypted, anonymous network of hundreds of millions of Apple devices that can help you locate your device, even when it’s offline." ref: Set up Find My on Mac - Apple Support
