Stolen Pc reporting

[cadamssony]

just had my SZ38 stolen...only had it a few weeks.
1. where do I report it? cant find link on any sony website
2. Is there a way of replacing the hard drive easily without sending it in for service cos in theory they have to junk my hard drive??

Checkmend is only for mobile phones and their IMEI numbers
we use it on a daily basis by the hundreds at work!

I know Toshiba has a very good stolen area where you put your s/n in and its on their database.
then anytime a repair is setup, or any information aboutthe laptop such as registration etc, they can intervene with the police

I've not found anything regarding this with Sony though

oh i take it back!
laptops are on checkmend too, it must be a new thing becaue when we first registered, this was not there!

VAIO-Link have now got a database for this.
