I guess the police can use the MAC address to identify the laptop on
recovering it, making sure of the ownership - which is probably why they
asked for it. Tracking down a laptop using a MAC address does not seem
practically possible for the police or anyone... it is very easy to change
the MAC address temporarily while connecting to the internet, and marginally
more difficult to change it permanently.
