If you can't locate your device, immediately report it to us. It's much better to have us scramble to find it quickly -- and then remember it's at home -- than to give a thief time to exploit it.
Report
Directly notify someone from the Tech Department -- by phone (x50) or in person. Please don't leave a message; actually talk with someone so you know we're working on it.
To report your device missing in a Support Ticket, Choose the ticket type, "Other Requests" > Laptop/Chromebook > Missing Device.
Locating your device
