MacBook Pro and Apple account that doesn’t belong

I was looking through my Apple devices on my Apple Watch for no reason I don’t know why I do that (it might’ve been because just for security I don’t remember.) and for some reason I found a MacBook Pro in the device devices however, I have never used or owned a MacBook Pro. This question might not be able to be solved because it involves my Apple account, but I do need help. My dad doesn’t know what to do either.

It could have come from another family member who used your Apple ID. But just in case someone else somehow logged in as you to your Apple ID, you should probably change your Apple ID password now. Also, check your account for purchases or subscriptions, check the credit card on file in there, and check in the App Store for purchases there as well. I would examine charges (via your bank) made to that credit card, say, over the past year or so.
