    lost/stolen                                      

    No app is required.                                               

    - 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

    - If you erase it via iCoud you will no longer be able to communicate with ite/locate it via iCloud.

    - The only way to find out if you have it backed up to iCloud is to use the same iCloud account in Setting>iClould on another iPod touch, iPhone or iPad. The go to Settings>iCloud>Storage and Backup
