If someone erased it then it will no longer be trackable. Anyone can erase any iOS device with a restore as new in iTunes.

As as long as it is listed in your iCloud account though, activation lock will prevent anyone from setting it up and using it - Activation Lock for iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Apple Watch - Apple Support
