text: if someone stole my computer is there a way to track it? using the internet or some other source.?   did you ever hear of the hi-jack for cars?  police could recover stolen cars before they ended up chopped.   well, there is one out, for laptops, and perhaps, for desktops, though i know little.  i just know that the media release caught my eye.  probably too late to help you this time... sorry.   you have the make, model, serials?  if it is under warranty, you should notify the maker that it was stolen.    if 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!  if 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.    or 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.
