If they do restore it in iTunes, that process is going to wipe all your content from it, so your information would be gone.  Yes, they can then go on and use your device as theirs, but your information is wiped from it at that point.
For future reference, along with the passcode, you can set it to erase everything after 10 failed passcode attempts.  As long as you have regularly sync'd content back to your computer and maintained an up to date backup, you have safeguarded your content for your own recovery and use.
And in iOS 7 an iCloud account and find my phone activation is worth it just for Activation Lock, even if you don't care about any other iCloud features (all of which you can simply disable and not use if you choose to).

    Lfiles37 if the serial number has been registered then it will be available under your account.  You can find more details at Find your serial number quickly - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html.

  • HT1267 what if your iphone 4 does not turn on and you dont have any way to get the Serial number what do u do

    what if your iphone 4 does not turn on and u have no way to get the serial number what do u do

    If you eject the SIM card tray the serial number is also there.  It's tiny, but there.
    When my iPhone won't turn on I first charge it with a known good cable for a few hours.  If nothing after that I begin a warranty lookup for repair.

  • Stolen iPod - Is there any way to flag the serial number with Apple Service

    My iPod Product (red) that I received for Christmas was recently stolen out of my car. I've done the police report and all that, but was wondering if there was any way to flag my serial number so that if someone were to try & register it or get service that it would be blocked? Yes, I'll replace it ASAP, but my kids bought it for me with their own money and it just really makes me sick that it was stolen and I'll probably never see it again.

    Apple have no procedure to track, trace or block your iPod from use. You've done as much as you can by informing your local police.

  • We had our MAC book Pro stolen and we registered it with Apple. Is there any way to recover the serial number for police reports if the receipt does not have the serial number on it? Thx

    We had our Mac Book Pro stolen and have not been able to recover the serial number from our Best Buy receipt. We did register it with Apple during the set-up and downloaded music on it thru ITunes.  Any chance we can recover the serial number from somewhere?  Any details would be helpful.  Thank you!

    You can try going here, using the same AppleID you used on the machine:

    3. Computer iTunes, if you have synced or backuped the iPhone.

  • Is there a way to find the serial number in these files so that I can reinstall the full version?

    I had to restore from backup to a new hard drive, and only have part of my Adobe Photoshop installation. Is there a way to find the serial number in these files so that I can reinstall the full version?  I have only part of the documentation so this is the best way I see to get the full version back.

    Hello brad,
    you did purchase your product from these firms like Amazon, so you didn't get a serial number, only a code with which you can request a serial number from Adobe. Please have a look at http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html. (Start here: How did you purchase your product?)
    The following part, so I just see at least, ceased to exist on my Adobe website, everything takes place in the link from above. I leave it as an info yet, it might still fit for you. For this purpose, please click your way through to your Adobe Store and find the button "Get Serial Number". Fill in the form and after a while you will get the real serial number.
    Additionally you should have a look at Adobe's database, to see what's stored/saved about your accounts. Here you will find general infos about your Adobe Account.
    On the other hand, if necessary and for further questions click through http://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html and if "open" please use the chat, I for may part had the best experiences. I quote from Adobe's employee Preran: The chat button is activated as soon as there is an agent available to help.

    If you need to find your serial number for a non-creative cloud product as mentioned above, start by logging in to your adobe account. (Go to Adobe .com  and click “Sign In” in the upper-right menu bar. Enter the email you use as your Adobe ID and your password.) All of your registered products and their serial numbers are listed in the Plans & Products section on the Manage Accounts page that appears.
    For more information on locating or registering serial numbers, please see this link: Find a serial number

  • Is there a way to discover the serial number of the battery that came with my Blackberry?

    I had a trusted family friend bring my 8520 Curve to his brother-in-law to fix a problem with it. However, when I got it today, I noticed that the battery in my phone has been changed.
    I don't have proof of it but I know it's not my battery. So, is there a way to know the serial number of my battery? I still have the box my phone came with.
    Please please please help. It's important to me.

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    Typically, when you receive a new device, the battery is in a separate plastic wrap, with a label on it keeping it sealed. If you still have that, then it might (stress might) have the S/N on that label. Otherwise, there is no way to retrieve the data you desire.
    Good luck!
