I know I have seen a story here about someone else who actually had their computer recovered because of contact to SETI.

I googled "seti stolen computer" and got quite a few hits.

Kimberly Melin got her stolen laptop back after police traced the IP address her computer was using to send SETI@home data to the Space Sciences Laboratory at the University of California, Berkeley.

I think you should call the police and let them take it from there.
