Sure enough, I never heard back from them again. I called the police, they came and wrote a report, but warned me that the chances to find the GPS are minimal at best. About ten years ago, when GPS devices were still used instead of Google maps on smartphones, someone broke into my car and took my GPS. I want to share my own experience with a stolen GPS. Once you found out the possible location of the device, let the police handle it. If you believe that your MacBook was stolen, then immediately report it to a local law enforcement officials.

If the Find My Mac app was not enabled, then the only way to track the MacBook is by its IP address. In this case, they lack the ability to track the laptop online from the iCloud account, and the question if it is possible at all to find Mac without iCloud. Also, a lot of users don’t think about the possibility of losing the MacBook until it’s too late.
