Report it to the local police.
If you have Find My Mac enabled you could then track it. Otherwise, there is nothing you can do.
What To Do If Your iDevice or Computer Is Lost Or Stolen
iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad
If you activated Find My Phone before it was lost or stolen, you can track it only if it is connected to the Internet by Wi-Fi or cellular. What you cannot do is track your device using a serial number or other identifying number. You cannot expect Apple or anyone else to find your device for you. You cannot recover your loss unless you insure your device for such loss. It is not covered by your warranty.
If your iPhone, iPod, iPod Touch, or iPad is lost or stolen what do you do? There are things you should have done in advance - before you lost it or it was stolen - and some things to do after the fact. Here are some suggestions:

  • How do you know if a Mac was stolen?

    I know this isn't the right place for this question but none of the other sections were suitable either.
    I'm considering buying a used MacBook Pro from Craigslist. Because some of the prices are so cheap though, I became suspicious. I figure... If someone is going to sell their MacBook Pro for a couple hundred, there must be a reason, right? My guess is that some of them must be stolen because by having a cheap price, they're bound to get rid of it quickly.
    Anyways, I just want to know if there's anyway of testing/checking to see if a Mac was stolen or not before purchasing it. Also, if there's a way of doing a quick diagnostics on it to make sure it's in good running condition.
    Thanks.

    I purchased a MBP around Christmas and while on my search I came across a few (3+) MBPs that were offered for sale at incredible deals. The general description was they were purchased as gifts to the seller and he didn't need them because he already had a computer. Somebody else went to check out one of these computers was able to discover that the seller purchased these computers with a solen credit card.
    My guess is that once the CC company reports the theft to Apple, the serial number associated with the machine will show up on their data base and if you needed to repair your unit, it would/could bring up the stolen flag.

  • My Iphone was stolen  - what can I doing? My Face Time is turn ON, maybe it's better? Can you help me ?

    Hi! My iPhone was stolen - what can I doing? My Face Time is turn ON, maybe it's better? Who can you help me? Maybe you have an idea? Please - help me. Iphone was stolen in my office (it my client, but I do not know who).

    The only way to track your phone is if you had find my iphone installed and activated, then you go to icloud.com log in and track your phone.
    If you didn't set it up then there no way to track it.
    Not sure what facetime has to do with your stolen phone.

  • My old mac was stolen and i'm trying to get my website on my new macbookpro

    My old mac was stolen and i bought a new macbook pro,
    I'm trying to get my website on this new computer from godaddy.com.
    I've tried using filezilla and downloaded the entire website file but havent managed to be able to open it up with iWeb yet. Anyone know how i can download my currently running website from the internet to continue working on it using iWeb with my new mac?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. If you don't have a backup copy of the Domain.sites2 file that iWeb uses to create the site you'll have to start over from scratch. However, Chapter 2.3 on the iWeb FAQ.org site has tips on using some of the existing image, audio and/or video files in the published site in the reconstruction of the site.
    Happy Holidays

    If you set up the Find My iPod service prior to the iPod going missing, then there is a chance that can be tracked, though it depends on a number of factors (the iPod is turned on, connected to a WiFi network, and has not had the Find My iPod service disabled). Log into icloud.com and go to the Find My iPhone section. Then contact the police, giving them any location information you get.
    If you did not set up Find My iPod, then there is no way to track it. Notify the police and change any passwords for any online accounts you may have used from your iPod (the iTunes Store, for instance). 
    Regards.

    For Find My Phone to work, you must first turn it on in Settings > iCloud before the iPhone is stolen, and the iPhone MUST be turned on and connected with the Internet.  If not, it is not possible to locate it.  Report the theft to the police, change all passwords associated with accounts on the iPhone, contact your carrier in case the can blacklist it.

  • I've changed my apple id password, however icloud still only accepting my old password. (though to sign in here, for example, it only accepted my new one). My Mac was stolen and I really wanted icloud to be safe! How do I get this sorted?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")

  • TS4006 My air mac was stolen

    This My air mac was stolen!!!

    In order for you to be able to locate it, the 'Find My Mac' application would have to have been enabled on it, and it would have to be on and able to connect to a network. If any of these conditions does not apply it cannot be located.
    You should of course report the theft to the police and your insurer.

    Change the passwords for any accounts where you stored the password on the computer.
    Take this as an opportunity to go shopping for a new computer.
