NOTE: If you know where the Tablet-PC was lost or stolen, call a law enforcement agency in that area. If you do not know, call a law enforcement agency where you live. • If the Tablet-PC belongs to a company, notify the security office of the company. • Contact Dell customer service to report the missing Tablet-PC. Provide the Tablet-PC Service Tag, the case number, and the name, address, and phone number of the law enforcement agency to which you reported the missing Tablet-PC. If possible, give the name of the investigating officer. The Dell customer service representative will log your report under the Tablet-PC Service Tag and record the Tablet-PC as missing or stolen. If someone calls Dell for technical assistance and gives your Service Tag, the Tablet-PC 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 Tablet-PC.
