If Your Computer Is Lost or Stolen

l

 

Call a law enforcement agency to report the lost or stolen computer. Include the Service Tag in your description of the computer. Ask that a case

number be assigned and write down the number, along with the name, address, and phone number of the law enforcement agency. If possible, obtain
the name of the investigating officer.

If the computer belongs to a company, notify the security office of the company.

Contact Dell customer service to report the missing computer. Provide the computer Service Tag, the case number, and the name, address, and phone

number of the law enforcement agency to which you reported the missing computer. If possible, give the name of the investigating officer.

The Dell customer service representative will log your report under the computer Service Tag and record the computer as missing or stolen. If someone calls
Dell for technical assistance and gives your Service Tag, the computer is identified automatically as missing or stolen. The representative will attempt to get
the phone number and address of the caller. Dell will then contact the law enforcement agency to which you reported the missing computer.
