A couple months ago, Dell called me and said that the police had found my stolen laptop. Thing was, I didn't have a laptop stolen.
Turns out it was a laptop I sold on eBay. It was stolen from the person that bought it from me. I was able to contact them and they contacted Dell and recovered the laptop. I never asked how the tracking worked, but I do know it was by the service tag. So short answer, contact the police, then also notify Dell.

Lab manager came early to open the lab and found a Dell Optiplex 755 gone from a classroom. The good thing is we have security cameras throughout the building. Has anyone ever reported these issues to Dell so they can flag the machine for stolen and what has come out of it? -Z.V. ________________________________ This e-mail message (including any attachments) is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.
