There are 2-3 different aspects of this.
First, you would probably be more concerned about the laptop because it is of the client.
1. Do you have a backup of the data
2. Do you have any confidential data that can be misused?
Do you have a mechanism to remotely disable the laptop so it can no longer be used?
3. How expensive is the laptop and can you as contractor, replace it at your cost?
4. Do you have amounts pending settlement which you can leverage against the laptop
Depending on the above, you need to decide on the action, including going to the police and filing a FIR, and taking their help to go to his house and recover the laptop. Do remember that you need to spend money for it, they don't do things for free
