Stolen iPad , how to IMEI block or track it?

Hi, Apologise if I posted this in the wrong section. But my iPad and Macbook Pro have recently been stolen. I've reported the event to the police, all I have left is the iPad box with it's IMEI number. The Police have asked me to call my carrier or Apple for assistance in tracking my iPad so that they can allocate and return my stolen items "over $7000+". iPad is my only hope left.
I've been reading about lost/stolen iPad, I've called my carrier and requested an IMEI block, but all they did was disable the service associated with the microsim. Police also asked me to call Apple in regard to this matter, but as I read through topics of topics of lost iPhone/iPad. It seems that either Apple really do not have the ability to track it down or they do not want to do so. MobileMe seems to be the only way.
I had location service on when it was stolen, but I am afraid they have done a restore with itune or changed the microsim. I wish to ask if Apple can help or not in this matter, if they do, which department should I contact? If they won't help, can I do a IMEI block on the device at the very least? Thank you for any advices and ideas!
Any ideas or advice will be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Rights... I see the logic here, I have a 3G wifi ipad, my carieer would even lied to me about they did the IMEI block which they didn't cause I checked on the amta data base. They want the person whoever using the stolen iphone to get another simcard, the carieer get benefits from it.
As for the person who lost the ipad, would be likely to get another via insurance or buying another on the market. The ultimate bingo goes to Apple, means they sell more ipads!
I could not help but have a thought of the fact that both carrier providers and apple are indirectly encouraging uses of stolen devices. They would had at least allow consumer to block out their stolen device when given reasonable proofs. If I didn't lose my ipad and then find out knowing how hopeless it can get losing
an apple device.
Especially device of high demands like an ipad, which is used by people to store lot of information on it and I guess at least some of it is very private and important and they are on a criminal's hand. I have tried MobileMe, but I also realise that they can simply use another sim card and still be able to used the device and access the information inside, all they need to do is turn off location service or a restore with itune.
Apple should at least provide some security option for the orignal owner of the device to disable the device via an IMEI block via itune which will disable the device rendering it useless, or if device is restored, the data will also be erased for good by implementing some of mac complete erase options into itunes.
Just a angry thought about my loss. Sorry for the attidue, I did love my ipad.

Stolen my macbook pro , how to IMEI block?

Help me, I wanna block my mac book pro by IMEI, I never activate Find Me

I am sorry your notebook is stolen.
IMEI is for phones.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Mobile_Station_Equipment_Identity
To locate and diable your MacBook Pro Find My Mac needed to be enabled BEFORE it was stolen. You maybe able to locate the machin knowing the MAC address or if it checks email automatically. But those are pretty remote options.
Again, I am sorry.

I got my ipad stolen and I locked it and bought a new one. When I am offline and someone tries to call me or message me it goes to my stolen ipad how can this be if it has been locked? Why do they still have access to my contacts/facetime/messages?

I got my Ipad stolen one month ago and bought a new. I locked the stolen one but now everytime someone calls me and my new ipad is offline the calls or messages will go to the stolen one. It is kind of creepy to know that my thiefs can read everything and send messages on my behalf to my contacts.....I have done the find my iphone application and it says that the ipad has not been used however I have family tell me that people that are not me answer the calls... I have also seen messages in my new ipad that I did not write.

That message is usually due to a bad cable.
Not Charge
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
If you can’t charge your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
- Try another cable. The cable for 5G iPod (lightning connector) seems to be more prone to failure than the older cable.
- If a 5G iPod
Iphone 5 lightning port charging problem - SOLUTION!
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

or send it in to Apple. See:

HT4061 ive found a ipad, how do i go about tracking down the owner please?

ive just returned from a trip overseas, on my arrival at heathrow on dec8th, i come across a ipad in the baggage trolley
i was already running late, so didnt have time to find right place to hand it in, so im trying to find out best way to track down the owner? or hand it in at my local
police station? many thanks

You could contact the baggage department at Heathrow, as someone may have reported it missing, or turn it in to the local police. Usually, if no one claims it after a period of time, it will be yours.
Thanks for your honesty.

My iPhone has been stolen. How can I block it?

My iPhone has been stolen. I did not set up "find my iPhone" in iCloud. Is there a way to block it so that no one can ever use it again?

You should at least check iCloud.com to make sure that you don't have it enabled. It tends to do that by default.
So go into iCloud.com and sign in with your Apple ID
Click Find my iPhone
Click "All Devices" and see if your phone is listed
Click your phone if it is
Click on "Lost Mode" and follow the prompts.
