Can stolen property be retrieved from overseas

Can stolen property be retrieved from overseas?
Long story short, I roommates with a foreign exchange student from Germany, and when he moved out at the end of the school year, he took my laptop with him. The tracking software I installed on there indicated that the IP address that is using it is in Germany...is it possible to have the American police contact the German police and retrieve the laptop, or am I just out of luck?

You won't know until you report it to the police. Given the cost of shipping a laptop from Germany to the US (not much) you should be able to recover it if the Polizei cooperate. Germany is a very law and order oriented society so I would not be surprised at all if the German authorities do cooperate with your local police.

Well you can definitely try but honestly I don't think its worth it. Because amount of money you will spend assuming if it goes that far in first place. Its not wroth it because it will cost you more than 300$ for sure I have send enough items on shipping to know that. But you can try i just don't think its worth the trouble or the money might as well just buy a new 300$ laptop that dose the job
