Prepare Recover Restore

Before doing anything else, prepare a restore of your data immediately using a remote backup tool! Nothing is more important than your data - make sure it is safe.

Make sure you have restored all your data before canceling any services. You may also wish to track the thief and possibly get your computer returned before canceling.
