[QUOTE="CogitoEAS, post: 1517645, member: 302849"] Most of you will laugh, shake your head, or think I'm an idiot for asking this question, but I need just one person with the slightest inkling of an idea how I can retrieve my computer's MAC address from a remote location. My apartment was burglarized this past weekend, and among the things stolen was my 13 inch macbook pro. I have a capstone presentation covering 4 years of research on that laptop that I need by the end of this week - some things were backed up, but I need it back regardless. I know I can get my computer back if I can just get my MAC address somehow. I've tried Apple, but couldn't find anything. I haven't tried my internet service provider yet. I've used a whole lot of applications since I bought this computer, which was 4 years ago - if any of you know ANY company or network that I could have been on in the past 4 years that would have my MAC address logged or on file in some way, please tell me. Also, there is a high chance the thief lives in my building, and if so, I know what network the thief uses, in case there is a chance I can find my MAC address in this way. [/QUOTE]
