Reporting Stolen iPods

Is there anyplace in the apple system to report stolen iPods (or any other items for that matter). I doubt there is, but I thought I'd give it a shot. My step-son's iPod Shuffle was stolen, but I have the serial number recorded. I'm hoping that apple has a place to report such things, so that if someone ELSE tries to register the same serial number, Apple would know that it's stolen merchandise.

Of course, if the thief has any brains whatsoever, they wouldn't try to register it in the first place, KNOWING it's stolen, but you never know...

Apple have no procedure to report, track, trace or block your iPod from use, the best thing you can do is inform your local police. If you have the serial number make sure that you have it quoted in the report. If your iPod was registered with Apple when you first got it, that will assist the Police in returning it to you should it ever be recovered: How to report lost or stolen Apple product?
