Q: Stolen Imac
My 2010 iMac was stolen. I have locked the computer. No hits as of yet on Find my iPhone. I am told it is easy for people to clear/delete the computer and start fresh. Is this true?
If I do get a hit, can the police really go and get computer back? Wouldn't they need a search warrant? Does Find my iPhone only give the approximate location and not the address?
Why did the burglar not take the wireless keyboard and mouse??
I have the last 5 digits of my serial number but unable to find the complete serial number. Any ideas on how I can use the digits I do have to find the computer?
Lots of questions! Any info or experience with this sort of thing is appreciated.
iMac, Mid 2010

Not without the admin password and your Apple ID.
