tracking stolen laptop

So, someone broke into the house we just moved into and stole a laptop. We had 40+ gigs of photos on that computer from the last 10 years or so and only want those photos back.
The laptop has a wireless card built in and we assume that the thieves may try and use it before dumping it at a pawn shop.
Anyone have any ideas on tracking it?
Thanks for any help. philozeppelin at yahoo period com

You're in the wrong place for tracking a lost laptop!

I'm sorry for your loss and sincerely hope that you have backups. If not, start now.

Unfortunately I don't think there's any way you can track it unless you have some specific device in there used for tracking.
