Finding Computer "MAC" address (for Mac and PC)

A computer's "MAC" address is a 12 digit number with every 2 digits or numbers being separated by commas or colons. By giving this number to the police they may be able to see if the computer is being used on the campus network. (format looks like 58:01:b2:89:b3:09)
