No.
iPod Touches do not have GPS receivers or transmitters.

It is a bold statement--and though the grammar was bad, the gist is meant to cut through petty stuff and false hope. Sounds way too cruel, I know. But...I also know what it's like to have stuff stolen, and at gunpoint to boot. (It reeks.)
Theft is wrong. Hoping that there is a miracle program to load on a computer that will find the missing iPod after it's been stolen by tracking it down via wi-fi or 3G--without loading it first on the iPod--is counterproductive and also about as wrong. If the unit is really missing and presumed stolen, at this point a police report really should be filed.

If you had an active MobileMe account before it was lost, and the Find my iPod touch/iPhone feature was activated, and Location Services was on, and the iPod was connected to a WiFi network, and that WiFi network is in Skyhooks WifI location database, you might've been able to determine its very rough location (accurate to within 30m to 100m), and send the iPod a remote wipe command. > > Without those things, there's nothing you can do.

We too had an ipod that was left somewhere for no longer than 10 minutes, it was taken.. What is the point of placing a lock for security if Apple isn't going to question an unlock request...the products are registered, if would be simple to pull the registration number up and see who it is registered under and confirm identification!!!!
