Hi corbin291,


This article explains what to do: If your Mac is lost or stolen - Apple Support


Your Mac is reachable if:


  • Find My Mac is enabled on the Mac,
  • It is alive and powered on (asleep is ok),
  • It is connected to the Internet, or it's running macOS Catalina or later and nearby another Apple device.


If your Mac appears in Find My, do NOT remove it from your Apple ID. If your Mac supports Activation Lock, it will remain locked as long as you keep the Mac on your Apple ID.


If you suspect that your Mac was stolen, report it to the police as well.


Best of luck in recovering your Mac.
