lost ipad

I think I lost my iPad. It might have been on the top of my car and fell off while driving. I did not have "find my ipad" on at the time. Is it possible to find it?

If the Find My iPad feature was enabled prior to it being “misplaced”, then if active, you would stand a good chance of locating it.


However, if the feature was not activated prior to being misplaced - or the iPad has been inactive for more than 24 hours, the last known location will not be available - and the opportunity to use technical means to recover the iPad have been lost.
