What can I do when my iPod was stolen while in flight mode?

Hello,
so my hand bag with my mobile, my camera, some other things and my iPod touch 2G was stolen while it was in flight mode and stupid as I was, after restoring it and updating the iOs to 4.3.1 or so, I didn't install "find my iPhone" Is there any chance to find it via the registered serial number?
Does iTunes save/send the IP-number when attached to a new computer? And if not, why doesn't Apple provide this possibility? It would contribute to the "Find my iPhone" app.
Besides this I have set my iPod to only work with a 4-digit security code, but I've read on the web that it's quiet easy to remove the code and that then it's quiet easy to accsses all the data on the iPod
I'd be very thankful for any help given on this issue, as all my credit and debit cards were in that handbag, my id card, my drivers license, a (to me) very important lucky charm given to me by a person I love and miss so much (that's the biggest loss to me) and the iPod is the only trace I could find.
Thank you.

There is not.

It does not.  Only Apple knows as to why they chose not to implement such a feature.
Besides this I have set my iPod to only work with a 4-digit security code, but I've read on the web that it's quiet easy to remove the code and that then it's quiet easy to accsses all the data on the iPod
It is easy to remove the passcode, but it requires the user to restore the device to factory settings in iTunes, which would in turn remove all data from the device. It's actually quite difficult to get at data stored on an iPod with the passcode enabled.  You would need to be pretty knowledgeable with the device and how they work in order to obtain any of the data.

The only thing you can really do is change any and all passwords to accounts you may have used or set up on the device for security reasons.  Other than that, I'm afraid you are out of luck.

    See:

    One user reported that placing the iPod in the freezer fixed the problem. A trick that works frequently with iPhones:
    Settings > AirPlane Mode ON, Do Not Disturb ON
    Power down and wait 5-10 minutes
    Power up
    Settings > AirPlane Mode OFF, Do Not Disturb OFF
    If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.

  • Hi,can you please help me wat can I do when my IPad was stolen?

    Hi,can you please help me wat can I do when my IPad was stolen?

    If you set up the Find My iPad service in the Settings prior to the iPad going missing, then there is a chance that can be tracked, wiped of its data or locked (which does the same thing as activating the screen lock), though it depends on a number of factors: the iPad is turned on, is connected to a WiFi or 3G network, and has not had the Find My iPad service turned off or the iPad completely restored. Log into icloud.com and go to the Find My iPhone section.
    If you did not set up Find My iPad, then there is no way to track it. Report the loss the police and change any passwords for any online accounts you may have used from your iPad (the iTunes Store, for instance). 
    Regards.

  • What should i do if my ipod was stolen?

    My IPod was stolen about a month ago. I reported it and have been looking for it but i have had no luck. I don't know what else i need to do. Would Apple replace it?

    What To Do If Your iDevice Is Lost Or Stolen
    If you activated Find My Phone before it was lost or stolen, you can track it only if Wi-Fi is enabled on the device. What you cannot do is track your device using a serial number or other identifying number. You cannot expect Apple or anyone else to find your device for you. You cannot recover your loss unless you insure your device for such loss. It is not covered by your warranty.
    If your iPhone, iPod, iPod Touch, or iPad is lost or stolen what do you do? There are things you should have done in advance - before you lost it or it was stolen - and some things to do after the fact. Here are some suggestions:

  • What is the procedure when your ipod is stolen

    My Ipod was stolen.  Am I to notify Apple for any reason to keep the thief from being able to use it? 
    I have my Itunes collection backed up, so can I simply transfer it to my new Ipod? 
    Should I register my replacement Ipod with the same information as my original Ipod?

    Report the theft to your. Local authorities. Apple has no way to block use of an iPod and does not take theft reports.
    Yes, just sync the new one with your library and register the new one.

  • What can i do if my iphone was stolen?

    How can i find my Mobile, it was stolen, i cant see it on icloud, can i search it by the imei nr. ???
    thanks for answers

    The only way to locate/disable/erase any lost/stolen iPhone is through Find My Phone or a similar app. However, this requires that Find My Phone be setup/activated, on your phone, before it was lost/stolen. You would then login at iCloud.com & try to locate it. This requires the phone be turned on & have an Internet connection. There is no other way to locate a lost/stolen iPhone. Apple can't/won't help you, nor will your carrier. Report the loss to the Police, your carrier & Insurance company. Change all of your passwords.

  • HT5787 What do I do if my iPod was stolen and I checked my support profile and when I entered the serial # I got a message saying it has been registered to another Apple ID? Is there a way to find out that Apple ID so that we can locate the iPod?

    What should I do if my iPod has been stolen and when I checked my support profile and entered my serial # and I received a message that the serial # had been registered to another Apple ID account? Is there a way to find out the Apple ID that it was registered to? I have already checked find my iPod and it shows my iPod is offline. I have already filed a police report.

    No, sorry, there is no way you can get that information. The police perhaps could, but it would probably require a court order and it's unlikely the police will go to those lengths unless they have reason to believe that this theft was not an isolated instance and hence worth more of their time than the single theft of an iPod.
    Even if they got the ID, it may well just be yours. Apple's registration database often contains such errors; I get the same message for some of my devices when I know I registered them to my Apple ID and the devices are all still right here.
    Regards.

  • What can i do when my ipod screen goes white and i cant see anything?

    Please! Somebody give me some advice on what to do when my ipod is white and i cant see anything? i can listen to music but i cant see what i am listening to?

    If none of the usual 5 R's of troubleshooting do any good, you'll need to have the iPod either serviced or replaced as the LCD screen or ribbon cable is damaged or faulty.

  • What do I do if my Ipod was stolen?

    My ipod got stolen a few weeks ago. I do not have any gps app installed other than the one given to you. But i do have alot of personal information on it. Like my email and all of my social networks. Is there anything I can do to at least block them from that information or more importantly track it and possibly get it back??

    Change your iTunes 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 wiipe in the event of ten consecutive incorrect password entries.

  • What can i do if my itouch was stolen?

    can i use the serial number to track it?

    Here's a summary of what you can do: Reporting a lost or stolen Apple product
    If you have lost or found an Apple product, please contact your local law enforcement agency to report it. Although Apple does not have a process to track or flag lost or stolen product, you can use My Support Profile to find a list of serial numbers that have been purchased or registered with your Apple ID.
    If you have already configured the MobileMe Find My iPhone service on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch,  you can use it to locate your missing device, display a message on its screen, make it play a sound at full volume (even if on mute), remotely lock it, or remotely wipe (erase) it to protect your privacy.

  • My daughters Ipod was stolen. Is there any way at all to track it?

    My daughters Ipod was stolen while at school. How can I track the device in order to get it back??

    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.
    - Apple will do nothing without a court order
