Stolen iPad serial number DLXG8TGFDKNY

I was traveling from nice France to Miami on jan 5. My bags were delayed and when they showed up my iPad serial number. DNGQVR0DKPJ was gone.  Strangely a empty box for the iPad mentioned above was in my bag.  I can only assume from this that some organized theft was taking place at some point in my bags trip to Miami.  So if you are missing the iPad mentioned above let me knows hen and where you lost yours and hopefully we can at least pass this information to the proper people

Change your iTunes (Apple ID) password along with any other password that was stored in the iPod.  If any passwords are associated with credit cards, contact the CC company and get your card replaced (with a new number).  If any passwords are associated with your bank or any savings institution, contact them also and discuss approprate action with them.
The "Find my..." function is pretty much useless if the device is in the hands of a thief.  All that is necessary is for the thief to connect to any computer with iTunes and "Restore as new."
The only real protection you have is with the personal information on the device rather than the physical device itself.  Something as small as an iPod should have a strong 8-digit (or longer) password AND be configured for automatic wipe in the event of ten consecutive incorrect password entries.

  • HT4061 How to retrieve my stolen iPad serial number using my a apple ID?

    I wish I could find a way to identify my iPad serial number. It was stolen from me a month ago, I could trace it to the street name but the police so far has done nothing. I was told I could trace using the serial number unfortunately it was stolen right after I got it so I don't have the box neither. I need this iPad for my studies. I can't afford buying a new one.

    You cannot trace your iPad via its serial number. If you set up your iPad and authorized "Find My iPad" in Settings, you could go to icloud.com, enter your Apple ID, then attempt to find your iPad.
    However, if the the thief isn't connected to a WiFi network, or has reset the iPad, or you didn't authorize "Find My iPad", you're out of luck. It can't be found.
    As for your police, that's not an issue that we can help you with. Some police departments will help. Some won't.

  • HT1391 How do I locate my stolen iPad Serial Number??

    My iPad was stolen in Odessa, Ukraine - the local police asked for the serial number which I did not have. I have the original receipt at home with a hand written number on it and I am unsure if this is the actual serial number of the iPad. I know there is a facility, by using my Apple ID to retrieve this but am unable to find how? Please help?

    If you have a backup of the iPad on your computer's iTunes then in iTunes you can go into Edit > Preferences (iTunes > Preferences if you are using a Mac), and on the Devices tab hover your mouse pointer over the backup's name : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4061
    Or if it was registered to your iTunes account then you can try logging into your support profile and see if it shows there : https://supportprofile.apple.com/

    Check the serial number (located on back/bottom) in this lost/stolen iPad database. However, most owners are not aware of this database and don’t enter the serial number.
    Stolen iPad Database
    http://www.stolenlostfound.org/online-stolen-ipad-database
    Also do a search, using the serial number, on your local Craig’s List. Some users list the serial number of a stolen iPad to thwart the sale of a stolen device.

  • HT4623 I trying to update my iPad using iTunes. After connecting to MacBook Pro where is installed all latest software iPad is recognised as iPad, Serial Number: n/a. iTunes run recovery mode, trying to restore iPad firmware, and in the end unknown error

    There was some updayts for my iPad 4 automatically downloaded. After installing it, the iPad began to restart itself every few minutes.
    I tryed to update my iPad using iTunes. After connecting to MacBook Pro, where is installed all latest software, iPad is recognised as "iPad", Serial Number: n/a. iTunes run recovery mode, trying to restore iPad firmware, and in the end unknown error occured (3). Tried many times, not results. And now iPad stays only in recovery mode, can't switch it off.  How can I solve this problem please?

    When I restart my iPad the connect to iTunes comes up and stays on until it shuts down again, I have read a report from Apple support suggesting I reinstall iTunes so I might try that again and also your suggestion which i shall also try, but thanks again - rg1547

    I don't believe Apple maintains such a list; however, you can check the serial number to see if it is covered by a warranty or if that has expired, but that's about it.

    Sorry if my English isn't correct because of I'm Italian.
    You must switch on the lost mode on the app " Find my iPhone ".
    If you can see it on the map of this app, you will know where is your iPhone in that moment.
    REMEMBER: you can see your iPhone on the map of  " Find my iPhone"  only if it is online. Indeed you can't see your iPhone if it's offlined or switched of.
