Macbook stolen in 2010! 1200 BTC on it! HELP!

You actually got the very best advice possible if your situation is genuine. It's more telling about your own character that you can't even be grateful for that.

You only got a healthy dose of mistrust and mockery because your tale is both suspicious and silly.

Still, if it helps you live with yourself to blame it on the mean bitcointalk people…

What the hell is so silly about trading WOW Gold for Bitcoins back when they were worthless and having a Macbook stolen that I find out has a wallet on it. People are retarded, Doesnt matter, if I recover the funds I will personally pick out each individual that contributed without being a fail troll and donate to them =) I might do that regardless just to show people how they SHOULD act.

Whether you can recover them from your Macbook doesn't matter if you can't get your Macbook back.   Worry about that if you get it back, which is of course very unlikely, bordering on impossible.

If you backed the wallet.dat file up somewhere, then just go get it and enjoy your $ and don't worry about your Macbook.

Checked every cloudstorage I have, I found the right resources to work towards recovering the computer. Thanks for all the POSITIVE input! All the negativity can keep on trolling !

Only realistic chance is if you backed up your wallet. I'm guessing your macbook changed several hands. Also, why is this in "Scam accusations"?

wow

It would be difficult to get back.

Do you know the public key?

Maybe the money has been spent.

idk anything besides the Macbooks information (serial number, box, receipt with date or purchase and a Police report when the Macbook was stolen in 2010)

You got the serial number and maybe could the MAC address be found from serial number?
Then can some service locate that MAC address?
It may have 2 MAC one for LAN and one for wireless.

That ... is actually a really good idea.  If you can get the MAC interface address from Apple or somebody, that's built directly into the network hardware of the machine.  And on Macbooks, you can't change the network hardware out, because it's built straight onto the motherboard.  So if there's a macbook somewhere on the network that's using that MAC interface, then it's the one. 

Problem with that is, if it's on the network, that means it's IN USE, presumably has been for three and a half years, and the odds are whatever was on its hard drive has been cleared out to make room for somebody's porno collection.

This is about a one-in-five for finding your macbook, which is better than I'd have ever guessed you could do.  But it's still less than one-in-a-thousand for getting your bitcoins back.
