There are several online services that log the email address of your devices when you log into them. This one is a long shot, but it has happened. If the thief drops or otherwise damages your MacBook during the theft, they may try and get it repaired by Apple. If that happens, Apple will send an email to the address registered to that Mac, confirming the repair.
If you get an email like that, contact Apple immediately explaining what has happened, then contact the police with the details.

Igor Degtiarenko. Writer and blogger at MacPaw, curious just about everything. Did you enjoy this post? If you believe that your MacBook was stolen, then immediately report it to a local law enforcement officials. Once you found out the possible location of the device, let the police handle it. I want to share my own experience with a stolen GPS. About ten years ago, when GPS devices were still used instead of Google maps on smartphones, someone broke into my car and took my GPS.
I called the police, they came and wrote a report, but warned me that the chances to find the GPS are minimal at best. Sure enough, I never heard back from them again. On the other hand, this guy was able to find out and retrieve his laptop with the help of his friends.
Note that the police refused to help him because he did not notify them at the time of loss. Although his experience was positive, I advise never to try to get your laptop or phone without the help of the police. No device is worth sacrificing life and health over it. Apple does not replace stolen MacBooks. While Apple generally does not help you with finding your MacBook reporting to the Apple customer support can still be useful.
Read the story about the guy who was able to get his MacBook back. He reported the theft, and to his surprise, the laptop was brought to an Apple authorized repair shop. The repair shop sent him an email, so the owner was able to get his MacBook with the help of the police. MacBook cannot be tracked by the serial number or MAC address. But the serial number is needed to prove the ownership in case if police found the MacBook. The serial number can be found on the purchase receipt email or paper or the original box.
Unfortunately, this is not always easy to do. One simple thing you can do to make sure that your lost MacBook is returned is to give the person who found it the way to connect with you.
