Hello,
if I have the serial number for my Hp pavillion and a suspect is there any way to find out if this person is using my stolen computer?

No. Not unless you have physical access to it and check the serial#.

Hi krtwise
Unfortunately there is no way to track it unless you have lojack on the unit. If you do have the serial number I have some suggestions.
1. Contacting your local law enforcement and report it stolen
2. Contact the manufacturer and report it stolen as well.
Hope this helps!

Hi I'm new to the forum. I was reading some of the topics regarding stolen laptops. I may have a solution that may be of help. Yes you can search and post the serial number to your stolen laptop on a worldwide database site for Stolen Computer Registry http://www.stolencomputers.org/home.html.

Once you sign up, you can register the serial number of your laptop to the database. It's a non-profit organization and is free of charge to view and post serial numbers for lost or stolen computers. Good luck and I hope you will be able to retrieve your laptop. :)
