Stolen Mac: any tips?

[NikkiJayne]

In December my rMBP was stolen. I have a new one now on insurance so no problems there.

I've set it up to remotely wipe if it's ever connected to the internet but so far, nothing. I was just thinking: is there a way to unregister it from my account? Since I have keychain activated and things like credit card numbers are stored (I cancelled my old cards just in case but now I'm using a new card and those details are stored too). I just don't really want anyone getting hold of any information, even though most of it wouldn't be very useful to them. Any tips?

Doesnt keychain run off your icloud account? I would think changing your icloud password would do the trick. Since your old Mac wont be able to connect to your icloud account and sync anything.

I think OSX-managed sensitive information (like credit card number and passwords) are encrypted when stored locally.

On the new rMBP I would install an anti-theft solution like Orbicule's Undercover and enable Guest or maybe a "phishing" account, enable iCloud account (this I think you already did) and enable firmware password (Command+R right after power on) so the system will ask for password when someone tries doing a new OS installation.
