You probably already know this, but just in case not: If you had Find My Mac enabled on those MacBooks, you can lock or wipe them [1]. I've read somewhere that if you select "lock" first, you can't then do a wipe. Not sure about that, tho. Good Luck.

Yes, I did this the minute I realized what had happened. Both my Macbooks and my iPad are in the "Erase Pending" state. Not sure if I still get notified of the location if the thieves replace or wipe the drives before ever connecting to the Internet.
