My original xbox was stolen at a party I had a while back, there's really not much you can do unless the guy signs on xbox live on your account

Gahhhh... did they take anything else?
I heard stories like the above, if they log into the account MS can figure out where it is or something. If you can't get it back, I wish a red ring on them.

Just depends.... I work security at my University, and we had a huge theft problem at the end of last year during the Spring term. We had 3 360s and 10 laptops stolen. The 360s were all recovered after Microsoft was contacted and the three respective Gamertags were put in a "Watch" type mode. A few of the laptops were also found at local pawnshops.
Best of luck to you OP, and like everyone else said, keep checking pawn shops/craigslist. I don't know if you are at a college, but if you are usually there are cameras in the hallways and IT or Security should be able to pull the tapes.

I'm wondering if you can get a credit card company on your side. If they purchase anything with your 360 loaded credit card, it would be treated as fraud.
Visa/American Express/Etc. can be wonderful friends, and don't take kindly to that sort of BS.

I would imagine the watch mode would have to be requested by someone of authority, ie police or campus security, as that would have to go up to corporate/police relations or whatever Microsoft calls the group that works with law enforcement. I can almost guarantee 8004myxbox couldn't start the "watch mode."
