Q: if stolen, Find my mac works as Find my iPhone ? Can´t they just reformat? or will it still be linked to my account.

My MacBook Pro late-2011 has been stolen 6 days ago. I have tried to locate it with find my mac but it seems they haven´t been able to login or connect to a Wifi network yet. I´m hoping they sell it and one day they try to connect to the internet. So my question is:

 

If they re-install the OS. Will the device still notify me as soon as it connects to the internet? Thats how it works with the iPhone.

 

Id appreciate if someone could confirm this.

MacBook Pro (15-inch Late 2011), OS X Yosemite (10.10.4), has Find my mac on it
