I don't know what to say about the lost data--compared to the bind your dad's in, your pickle is fairly simple. Just keep on keeping on with contacting everyone you have an account with, and you should probably be okay. Only thing is, with your SSN, they can open new accounts in your name...
Re stolen laptops and their MAC addresses... Now that I've got a new laptop to replace the one that was stolen a month or so ago, I'm thinking about writing a little program to send the current IP address to a database server on one of my websites periodically. It can just run for as long as I own the laptop, happily logging my IP address. And then if I ever am forcibly separated from my laptop again, I'll start getting the new owner's IP address the minute he connects to the Internet.
