Mac – Stolen Mac – Help Finding Serial Number

macserial number

My apartment was broken into yesterday and my Mac (Mavericks) is gone. I'm trying to dig up the serial number for the police, but I'm having zero luck. Here's what I've done so far, to no avail:

  • Checked Find iPhone through my iPhone and iCloud.com (didn't iCloud show the serial number at one time?)
  • Checked https://supportprofile.apple.com/
  • Searched my emails for one from Apple from purchase (found an email with an almost 3 year old Order Number and a Crucial email with some specs)
  • Searched for the box my Mac came in

Here are some things I still have that may help:

  • An external drive used for Time Machine
  • My iPhone used the Mac for iTunes syncing
  • Programs connected to the Internet, like Dropbox and TeamViewer

The police have been here already and I've contacted my renter's insurance. I have the Mac Locked and on Notify When Found. But I would really love that serial number. Any ideas I haven't thought of or found online?

Someone stole my iPads last week and I didn't have the serial numbers. I found the serial numbers on appleid.apple.com. Once, logged in, scroll down to Devices and click view details. You will need to answer your security questions, but any of your devices that are linked to Apple ID will be shown with their serial numbers. I hope this helps someone.
