I got an email from activation lock from my stolen iPad but it still does not tell the location I thought that was the whole point for find my iPhone
Apple do not send out e-mail of lost device.
It's a phishing attempt to get your Apple ID & password to unlock the lost iPad for re-use.
Do not engage.

Looks like you're gullible. That's a Scam. If you provided the information your iPad is now being used by someone else and you'll never find it ever.
This link explains what you can expect if your device is lost or stolen. At no point does Apple say you may receive a text asking for your Apple ID and Password.

You have misunderstood what Find My iPad/iPhone/iPod touch is about
It's for misplaced device and not against theft.
If you have FMiP ON before the lost, your data is safe and the device is useless without your Apple ID & password.
If you have further 2 factor authentication ON then having your Apple ID & password is not enough to unlock the last device.
FYI: Apple do not track your device for you.
To be able to track or locate an iPhone or iPad:
All the above must be true.
If so, use your browser with this link: https://www.icloud.com/#find

ckuan beat me to it. You got a phishing attempt to get your Apple ID and Password. Please tell us you didn't reply to it.
Your device will ONLY be trackable if it is on and connected to a network. The reality is the vast majority of stolen devices are never found. Apple is not responsible for some thief using spurious methods to try to trick you into revealing your Apple ID and Password.
Good luck with that news story! ;-)
Ps: Apple is NOT going to try to help you find your device. They never get involved with lost or stolen devices.

Really? Can you post information from Apple stating they will send you an email regarding lost iDevices? If that was the process used, it would be abused repeatedly, and rendered useless.
