    I had my 15" TiBook stolen out of my car the first week I got it during lunch...they broke into the car to steal my stereo and grabbed the backpack under my seat. I had waited months for the thing to arrive because I ordered the day the original TiBooks were announced. Spent about 4 grand on the thing, and then some shithead stole it from me days later.
    The only thing you can do is contact apple and tell them the serial number so if someone brings it in for repair or anything it is red flagged.
    You should run some kind of phone home application that tries to email you whenever it gets connected to the internet with the ip its coming from.
    chances are, if you still know your mac address, and if the person connects at your school, you can find them.
