Hi

Welcome To Lenovo Community

SInce it is already stolen only Police can help you. But as a general measure people can use softwares to tack them.
Tracking stolen laptop and knowing its whereabouts may give a chance to recover it.
You can use some of the free softwares to track laptops as well as phones.
You need to install it on your device... Read more about how to do this in the below article.

They should track it if someone calls for support, warranty or parts for it.
I know Toshiba used to years ago when I working in an authorized service department.

I am surprised ThinkPads are not tracked if reported stolen by the actual owner.

@pe4fal3u,

If you want to check if the laptop is not stolen, why not ask the seller to show the proof of purchase and match it against the laptop's serial number?
