First I would contact your local authorities.

Second I would contact the company that makes those laptops to see if it's possible to track.

Thirdly, if it was a computer savvy person that stole the laptop it may possibly be never seen again.

First and second have been done, and I agree about the third.

Thanks for your feedback

I agree with you, I did not have lojack and can't find any details on mac address.

Thanks

The manufacturer can figure out the MAC address, but that may not help you find it. The MAC address is only seen on a subnet and not viewable on another network (after data passes through a router).
