My wifi Ipad was stollen. Can I write an app to locate it by serial number?

Is there something like serial number api or unique way to inquire serial number and its unique identifier and exact location of that serial number (on an Ipad)?  (or is this sort of stuff only reserved for CIA and FBI and those sort of I agencies?)  I  would like to develop an app to do that. Am i day-dreaming or is it a real possibility with all the technology, gps, satellites and apps and possibilities we got? Any help from dev-gods  would be much appreciated.
Explanation: my home was broken into and my Ipad stollen (along with so much more). I fancy that such an app would lead me to the criminals and generally curb on criminal activity of these appliances. 
Thanks!
Cheers!

Mitsu, thank you!
Actually I forgot to state that I know about mobile me- but did not conclude the process of setting it- just downloaded it without concluding the registration. So I am stuck on that front. But I was thinking more on the front of deeper side: some unique identifier (like serial or unique id of each device) that can be "pushed" to retrieve info on the location of the device. I would put the effort to learn and make the app myself. Just the question is: is there a method or function or api to locate devices by unique identifier ?
