The Dell customer service representative will log your report under the computer Service Tag and record the computer as missing or stolen. If someone calls
Dell for technical assistance and gives your Service Tag, the computer is identified automatically as missing or stolen. The representative will attempt to get
the phone number and address of the caller. Dell will then contact the law enforcement agency to which you reported the missing computer.
