Mar 16, 2012 2:39 AM in response to Hayden Siewby Ingo2711,Only if you installed "Find my iPhone" prior to the loss, you could be able to log into iCloud and track your device. If you did not install and activate your account in iCloud, there is no other way to find your iPod.
If Wi-Fi is off, it can't be located until it joins the wireless network again

Mar 16, 2012 6:16 AM in response to Hayden Siewby Philly_Phan,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. This requires action before the device is lost/stolen. If the device has significant personal information, it should have a strong 8-digit (or longer) password AND be configured for automatic wipe in the event of ten consecutive incorrect password entries.
