If it's a Del, they have a program to track stolen items. If you recall the 
service tag, you can report is as stolen so if anyone calls to get support, 
they get caught.

There are some websites where you can report a serial number as stolen. I'd 
call any pawn shop in the city

Any software installed can be defeated.  However, some vendors do have 
hardware-based tracking.

Anyone know anything about it?

  MAC addresses are not propagated past the local IP network.  If


they're connected via a local router or other such device, the ISP
will never even see the MAC address.  Even if they directly connect,
only the ISP's edge router is going to see the MAC address.  I don't


think most ISPs are prepared to search for a MAC address anywhere on
their network.  Even if they were, you would have to have the
cooperation of every ISP on the Internet to find it.
