How can I get IMEI number from back up if my phone...

Question

My trusty N95 was stolen (by a security guard no less). He disappeared and is now using the phone. He sent an email to someone from my gmail account which was set up on the phone (and configured to always copy me). I've changed my email log in password etc. BUT I really would like to block that phone. But I'd had it for so long that I don't seem to have the IMEI number stored anywhere. I have my old back-ups and photos etc. Is the IMEI stored in any of these and how would one retrieve it?
I loved that phone and had kept it even after upgrading to C7 then N8. And to use my email!!!!?

C:\Users\Your Username\AppData\Local\Nokia\Nokia Suite\Messages
OR
C:\Users\Your Username\AppData\Local\Nokia\Nokia Suite\Photos
OR
C:\Users\Your Username\AppData\Local\Nokia\Nokia Suite\Contacts
For you to be able to see the Folder called AppData you have to make sure that you have enabled Show Hidden Folders which is achievable by selecting Folder Options>View>Tick Show Hidden Files, Folders and Drives
Once you open the Messages, Photos or Contacts you will be able to see a folder and the folder name will have numbers which is the IMEI number and you can use your IMEI number to block your lost phone via your service provider. Some service providers also helps to track the phone and if your service provider enables the track phone feature then you can locate your lost phone and arrest the person who stole it.
