If you have a backup copy somewhere, you can recover data from that backup copy. Obviously the backup must have been made BEFORE the computer was stolen. It also helps to make those backup copies regularly, so you don't lose much data.

Otherwise - if you didn't do a recent backup - you can't do anything.

Why would they report it stolen?? IF it was stolen from you, then YOU would report it stolen.

They will eventually find where you are working and you will pay for not only the car but court fees. Do yourself a favor and give the car up it's not yours.
