My macbook was recently stolen but I purchased it with a credit card. If I showed the credit card to Apple would they be able to find out what my serial number was and flag it? I cannot find my receipt anywhere.

A man broke into my apartment last night and my macbook is missing. I don't have the receipt or the serial number but I purchased it with my visa card. Would someone at the genius bar be able to take my credit card and find out the mac that I purchased and flag it in case the person tries to bring it in?

Report it to the police.
Start filling an insurance claim if you think it is worht it (your rates may rise if you make a claim but a new computer might still be worth it).
