Can AppleCare tell you the MAC address of the laptops internal network adapter?

If so, take that info along with a copy of the police report to school. Ask their network admins to put a search on their net for the MAC address. Don't block it, just find it. Once you find it, it's a simple matter to ID the jack they are plugged into and, well, grab the lappie back. Assuming of course that the douche that took your machine also goes to your school.

If you had a wireless adapter in the machine get the MAC address for that too.

The MAC address info might be on the system build sheet if Apple sent you one.
