Hey all, good idea about checking Craigslist and I totally understand the person talking about identity theft being the "expensive" problem rather than the laptop. Our rationale was that they didn't have direct access to anything other than names & addresses under contacts that are in the phone book anyway,... Passwords have all been changed. Still, don't get me wrong, it's disconcerting and we may still wipe it.
One thing I forgot to mention is they didn't take the AC adapter - it was in a laptop bag on the other side of the house. So the cops were saying what's likely to happen is they play with it until the charge runs out and then trash it. He said you'd think they'd try to find a charger, but more than likely they aren't that resourceful/knowledgable about how to find a charger for a '09 MacBook Air.
To the last reply, yes I've zoomed way in and I have a pretty good guess on which house it is. However, even fully zoomed in, the radius covered by the grey circle (which shows where it *could* be) covers at least 5 houses since it's in a densely populated area. Plus that's just where the Wi-Fi is - the person using it could be a few houses away in any direction.
Thanks to all the well-wishers... If I don't see it come online again today (or even if I do and it's in the same spot), I may just wipe and forget about it. Will let you guys know.
