Report the theft to the local police. Get a new computer and restore your pictures and other data from your backup to your new computer.
If you have house or renters insurance contact your insurance company. Your computer loss may be covered.

Do you have Apple's iCloud tracking hooked up to it? If so, you can see where your computer is and when it's being used.
That feature (using iCloud to find it) is called "Find My Mac". But you needed to have turned it on last week, or it will not be active and usable now.
If you did turn it on, and do find out where your Mac is located, do not confront the people who have it -- get the local police involved instead. The police are trained to do this sort of work, and you are likely not. People have been severely injured confronting strangers over stolen devices.
Thank you all for your help. I already filed a police report. I filed a claim with my home insurance. Unfortunately i did not install "find my mac" I hope that my insurance claim goes through so i can pay off what i owe on my stolen laptop and hope in the near future to get another one in hopes of recovering my pictures that were on the laptop since thats all i really want back. I thank you all for taking the time to respond.
Did you back it up, and if so how did you back it up?
laptop was stolen now what?
