You got serial numbers or anything like that?
Also file a police report, they might laugh at you, but is a theft nonetheless

Everything is social media these days so you should be able to lock it down or locate it as soon as the idiot connects to the Internet.

You can use “Find my Mac” to locate the device when it comes online and also lock it and display a message to whoever has it or erase it to remove any personal data.

Yeah you just have to wait until it connects to WiFi unless they scrap it for parts but did you have a password on it ?

The perpetrator(s) will attempt to sell the Mac Pro to an unsuspecting person looking for a deal.

Not everybody will use it to go "public" internet online .

VPN etc.

I used it to find a MacBook Air and iPad already, but it has to be setup properly and online, it helps if all devices using the same iCloud account.

Two factor authentication helps a lot too.
