My MacPro was stolen.  How can I retrieve the serial number?

My 3.5 yr Macbook Pro was stolen and I didn't record the serial number.  I need it for the police.  Who can I contact at Apple to see if they have my number?  I financed the computer through Apple.
Is there some kind of internal tracking device in the MacPro that can lead me (the police) to finding it?  I did not install any tracking device on it, but didn't know if it came with one already built in- like the Iphones have.
Any help you can offer would be appreciated.
I'm Desperate and am sick that I didn't record it in advance.
Thanks for your help.
Sue

If you registered your computer with Apple & setup a support profile, you can login & retrieve your SN there. If you didn't do such, you can try calling AppleCare.
If you didn't setup Find My Mac or similar before your computer was stolen, there is no way to track it. Change all of your passwords, report the loss to the police & your insurance company.

  • I need to wipe my computer clean. although I have the CD, I don't know the serial number. How can I retrieve the serial number to reinstall?

    How can I retrieve my serial number before wiping my computer clean. I want to be able to re-install the Creative Suite CS6 Design and Web Premium programs. Please help.

    Assuming you have Windows...
    Googling "Belarc Advisor" points to
    Belarc Advisor - Free Personal PC Audit, for software, hardware and security configuration information on your computer.…
    Run that and it will tell you everything you ever wanted to know (and more) about the insides of your computer, including software serial numbers.
    Takes a while to run: could be 10-15 mins. Just leave it to complete its job.

  • My laptop was stolen - How to find out the serial number

    Hi
    Is there any way I can find out the serial number of my laptop, which was stolen yesterday? I'd like to log it as stolen with Toshiba but they ask for the serial number.
    Tnx
    Andy

    Hi
    Usually the serial number was placed at the bottom of the unit.
    There is a label which collects all these useful informations.
    You have certainly received many documents with you notebook; i.e. warranty.
    Check it and maybe you will find the serial number somewhere in the list

  • I have had an iPod stolen - how can I see the serial number in itunes?

    Hi, I have recently had my 2 ipod touches stolen and need to find the serial numbers. Does anyone know if itunes stores this informatiom?

    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.
    - Apple will do nothing without a court order

    If the comp is shipped from a reseller, the serial # would be on the packaging paperwork inside the shipping box (which is actually the receipt).  

  • My Ipad was stolen - how do I get my serial number so I can lock it.

    My Ipad was stolen, how do I get my serial number so I can lock it?

    The serial number will be located in the box the device came in.
    However, having the serial number will not help you lock it.
    The only way to lock it would have been if you set up Find My iPad on iCloud.com and the iPad.
    you could then go to iCloud.com and lock it from the "Find my iPhone" section of the website.
