hey guys, thanks for all the great replies. I called cisco a couple days ago, the woman I talked to was clueless.
The only info she said she could reveal if given a serial # is if the warranty is still valid. She couldn't reveal the original purchasers for confidentiality reasons. When I asked if there was any DB of stolen equipment serials, she said no. so it seems that short of large scale theft investigations by the police, the serials hold little value as a VIN does to a car. They only work for warranty info apparently.
