Re: Tracing a MAC-adress
You might be able to log on to your router and if it was fairly recent, check the "DHCP clients" table (that lists all the PC's connected to your router). Some router's will only display this "live" for PC's currently connected, but I know some routers will display data here for a long time after a PC was last "seen", and the MAC address is almost always listed there too.
Alternatively if you had set up wireless MAC address filtering (which you definitely should have if it was a wireless connection...!), then you'll simply be able to check the wireless mac filter list on your router again and every mac address you've ever allowed will be there.
Your own PC/other PC's on the network very likely won't have the MAC address anywhere, not unless you were in the habit of packet-sniffing and saved the logs or anything out of the ordinary like that
Your ISP (or the thief's ISP) would only have the PC's MAC address if it was connected directly to the modem - if it was connected to a router first, then the router will mask the MAC address from the ISP, and the ISP will only get the router's MAC address... so you may be stuck either way.
MAC addresses are usually considered secure/private, and there's all sorts of things to protect them from easily leaking out on to the internet - generally you need software installed/running on the PC itself to make it "reveal" it's MAC address, if it's not connected to your own local area network.
