text: Did you ever hear of the Hi-Jack for cars?  Police could recover stolen cars before they ended up chopped. \n\nWell, there is one out, for laptops, and perhaps, for desktops, though I know little.\n\nI just know that the media release caught my eye.  Probably too late to help you this time... sorry. \n\nYou have the make, model, serials?  If it is under warranty, you should notify the maker that it was stolen.  \n\nIf any warranty center gets it in for a problem, or when any technician accesses that unit's file, it will be flagged and the shop can be called, to hold it for the police!\n\nIf it is a 'white box' then, sorry.  I am all out of ideas.  The police will circulate a description to the pawn shops.  Likely it is parted out by some creep.  \n\nOr sold on eBay... you can check the listings there... See someone with the identical machine, who is near enough to your locale to possibly be a culprit... or not... Don't jump to conclusions.
