had you installed lion/signed up for iCloud, as 'find my mac' is built into it and makes it very day to locate laptops?

It had snow leopard on it and none of the tracking software. I wonder could we track it if we got apple to provide the serial number, machine number and mac address?

Must call them and look into that.

It's too late for the OP, but anyone with 10.7.2 installed should make sure they have Find My Mac enabled in iCloud settings. It's usefulness is limited but handy to have all the same.
