OK so my fault, left my rucksack with my laptop in it on the side of a Arizona highway, realised a few hours later and came back but it was gone. Police dept and Highway Dept haven't seen anything.
Dell laptop, Windows 7, Office 2010 Professional.
I've changed my major passwords - Google, Facebook, PayPal, eBay, Dropbox.
What else can I do? There was nothing too sensitive on it and luckily most of the stuff was backed up. It doesn't have any tracking or remote format software on it.
Can I cancel the Windows account or anything (to make it easier when I get a new laptop)?
Thanks,
Duane.
I presume it's not a corporate laptop? Definitely contact the IT department if it is. They might be able to remotely wipe it.

Nope, personal.
Anyone else? 🙂
That's not a stolen laptop; that's a lost laptop.
If someone has found it and decided to keep it then (in the UK at least) it still counts as a form of theft.
