My MacBook Pro was lost/stolen during security check at an airport most likely ORD.

I tried the TSA, also a private retrieval service but all to no avail.

The stolen Mac is with someone who is trying to infiltrate into my current Mac. Having failed to break into my Mac I am getting death threats. Since the Mac has a GPS locator is it possible to find its location?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.0
