So here's my story. I recently bought a used late 2008 aluminum macbook 2.4 ghz core 2 duo, 4 gb ram, nvidia 9400m etc etc. I failed to ask the owner to include the original leopard dvd that came with the macbook in the transaction. i realized this a month after the purchase and cannot contact the owner. he ignores phone calls. So now i must call apple for replacement dvds. I had a bad experience with an iphone that i once purchase used and turned out to be stolen and was eventually tracked to me. ( that issue was resolved haha). I am just wary with these sorts of things now. Is there a way to check with a serial number if a certain macbook was reported stolen to apple? because i would rather not get in trouble when ordering replacement discs from apple with my credit card! Or am i worrying too much?

No, Apple really doesn't have a way of tracking them unless law enforcement has been contacted and they inform the store.
