Having the Find My application connected to your devices can help to alleviate stress and worry if you misplace your Macbook or if it is stolen by another person.

While this is not always a foolproof method of determining if a laptop is stolen or not, it can provide you with peace of mind. Your local police department can crosscheck records that may indicate your laptop was recently stolen and is being searched for by its original owner. If you believe you have a Macbook that is stolen in your possession, it is also advisable to contact your local police department. A professional Apple specialist can help to verify the ownership and sale record(s) of your Macbook if you have a valid serial number. You can also check Apple Care eligibility if you have the serial number of your Macbook readily available. If they refuse to share the serial number with you, they are more than likely not the original owner of the Macbook, and the device itself may be stolen. If you are in the process of searching for and buying a new Macbook, inquire about a serial number from the seller. What if I can’t unlock my Macbook?
