This is why I like backups and encrypted drives. When a laptop is lost or stolen you have a copy of the data, you know someone isn’t going to get access to your original data, you write off the physical loss, buy a new laptop and be done with it.

This can be traced, so contact the Police and have them pay the thief a visit. But as you will not know the IP address, then contact your insurance people instead !
