Yes they are, even if they change out the hard drive it still recognizes the box. Essentially whoever ends up buying that one can't use it online.

Contact XBL, let them know the situation, give them your gamertag and **** if you dont know the serial. I would assume they would be able to track it if someone ever turns it on with an internet connection.

yeah that's pretty much your best bet if you want your box back. If that doesn't work out I always have a spare Elite for Trade/Sale

That sucks...Although its different depending on what they stole, its a REALLY bad feeling that someone was walking around your house, doing with it & and taking what they want.

Feel glad that's all they took. I've seen people on here that have had almost their whole house wipped out. I know if someone broke into my house and knew what they were getting, I'd be out 10's of thousands of dollars. But if it was a dumbass, they'd probably leave it.
