Recently my laptop was stolen out of my car, so I engaged "Find My Mac" and told it to wipe the disk.
A few days later I got an email "Cesar's Macbook Pro Has Been Found." My name isn't Cesar -- that must be the thief or the guy who bought it from him. I assume he re-formatted the disk and re-installed the OS and changed the computer name before connecting to WiFi whereupon the call-home feature told the machine to wipe itself.
It's a weird user experience to tell me the name of the new owner but nothing else.
