Hello,
A year ago, my computer (almost new Macbook Pro) was stolen. I did everything I could to track it down, particularly using the "Find My iPhone/Mac" application offered by iCloud. For a month, I checked online selling sites like eBay, Le Bon Coin, etc., with no results; none on iCloud either. A month later, I located my computer on iCloud, and I informed the gendarmerie where I had filed a complaint, which, despite having the location, did absolutely nothing! The police did the same... So we went to the location ourselves and checked all the houses in the area, but there was no trace of the computer.
Recently, I noticed some visits to websites and messages in my Google Chrome history that do not belong to me! Similarly, on YouTube, which is linked to my Google account, videos that I have never watched appeared. I checked on iCloud, and I couldn't locate the computer; the Apple account must be deactivated, but it seems that my Google account is still connected. I really don't know much about computers and I would like to know if it is possible to track down this computer through my Google account and the websites that were visited?
Best regards,
Have a good day.

If your device is indeed linked to your Google account, you will be able to see the history of ALL your devices by clicking on the "Open the 'Recent Activity' page" button on the following page
