Unless you registered the unit with Samsung or have a copy of your receipt, the most you can get online is your IMEI (which the police should still be able to use to identify the device); you can do that through Samsung's SmartThings Find (https://smartthingsfind.samsung.com/) and signing into your Samsung Account.

This, however, does require you to have signed into a Samsung account on the phone at some point and the Find My Phone option was not disabled.

Welcome to Android Central! Do you still have the box the phone came in? This is why I never throw those boxes away -- they typically have important information like the IMEI and S/N, usually on a sticker.
