How can a stolen MacBook be found or blocked

Good afternoon. My MacBook was stolen. It was new and had nothing configured. Is there any way I can find out where it is and block it? Thank you.

Sorry, but if "Find my" has not been enabled during the setup of your Mac, it can not be located.

Report your lost or stolen Mac to local law enforcement. Law enforcement might request the serial number of your Mac. Find your device serial number.
