best thing you can do is go to the store and tell them about it or show a couple of photos of yours
next best thing would be, if they have no resoning behind taking your laptop or didn't have a warrant to take it in the first place you could sue the department for misconduct!
although it'll cost you a couple of hundred dollars on getting a lawyer but its better than losing out on $1700!!!

was the computer registered to you, in other words. did you register it with the manufactures? for after sale service and warranty
You would have had to register windows XP. anyway, and microsoft will have those serial number details.
yes there are many serial numbers within a computer, each part of a computer, has a serial number,
CPU
Memory
Motherboard
graphics card chip
sound chip
modem
hard drive
cd drive
windows
The Bios
now when you register your windows each serial number of every item in your computer is registered with microsoft, That way they know if windows goes down because of an hard drive they can check that it is the hard drive or some other component within the computer, when you reinstall windows and re register the rest of the serial numbers are the same,
check it out..... you should ALWAYS register your computer with the manufactures
another question comes to mind
how would the police know it if it is or is not registered to you even if there was a serial number on the computer, they would not know... get a lawyer on the job....

Some manufacturers have a utility in their preinstalled programs with the serial number or service code, and some include it in the BIOS. You might try asking the law section of YA if it really is illegal to have a laptop which is missing the serial number sticker -- unless you were traveling in/out of the country I can't see why. Does the receipt have a detailed breakdown of parts which might have serial numbers listed, so you could check the serial number on the mobo or hard drive?
