Got it! Please follow my steps above!

Customer Replay

I tried via Microsoft and it says it can't find or lock my device

Understood

Customer Replay

Is there another way to do this?

Currently McAfee doesn't have that kind of service.
Please also try this :
Open your Google Account. In the "Security" section, find "Your devices." Select Manage devices. Select the laptop.

Customer Replay

OK trying that now

Let me know how it goes!

Customer Replay

It only shows mobile phones. Not my laptop

That means it was not connected to your Microsoft and your location service were not turned on.

Customer Replay

OK any other options?

***** those were the only options.
Sorry about that.
Do you know where it was stolen?

Customer Replay

Yes, from my home
On Sunday night/early Monday morning

They were stolen by an intruder in your house?

Customer Replay

Correct

Have you contacted the police?

Customer Replay

My husband's computer was also stolen, all our cameras etc. Yes we have contacted the police

From our tech side we have done all possible steps, the rest has to be done by the police.

Customer Replay

OK thanks

Is there anything else I can do for you today?
