In addition to one of these "mailer" ideas, might I suggest having some "hard" evidence that it is, indeed, your computer (besides it having gone to the page that you asked it to or whatever).
Make it send you the serial number:) My iBook is insured with the rental company where I got it (I'm poor, but I still gotta have a mac!). The first thing they ask for on a claim is "serial number", so this may be perfect, really.

It describes how to write a bash script to get your machine serial number! Very, very cool.
You're 100% about that? Try opening up a terminal and running these commands:
sudo su - open/Applications/.app/
You should see... " kCGErrorIllegalArgument : initCGDisplayState: cannot map display interlocks. kCGErrorIllegalArgument : CGSNewConnection cannot get connection port INIT_Processeses(), could not establish the default connection to the WindowServer.Abort "
I'm not saying this means it works... But it does kind of get me thinking. I just wanted to see if you could post some reference proving that the windowserver can't do it.
