Stolen Computer

About a week ago someone broke into my home and stole my computer.
First thing I did was to go through and change all my passwords. But then I got to Syncplicity. It's a service I use to keep files on all my computers updated. There's an area to see which of the connected computers are online. And sure enough the stolen computer was online! (and still is)
Whoever broke in is using the computer and still has syncplicity running.
I'm wondering if any one has any thoughts on how I can use this or any other method to track down the computer.
Unfortunately the official word from syncplicity is that there's no way to get an IP address from that computer.
Thanks!

"It's a service I use to keep files on all my computers updated"
1- backup your file.
2- delete everything
3- that thing will update your stolen computer and the guy will lost all your files?
- Yep... I did that. I figured this jerk already has enough of my files. He doesn't need the new ones too!torres

I would say contacting syncplicity would be your best bet, if there is a solution they would know it.
I am really sorry that happened though.
