Windows 10: Can’t Lock Device

I cannot lock my laptop and it has been recently stolen. Precisely on December 9th, 2024. Is there anything I can do to lock the device. I do not have it right now and there’s valuable information needed. I’m also in a financial crisis and I can’t afford to buy another laptop… I need help…
