If you have never received or set-up the iPad, there are no technical means by which an iPad can be tracked.


Here is Apple’s advice for lost or stolen devices:

If your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch is lost or stolen – Apple Support

Use the Find My app to locate a lost or stolen device – Apple Support


Facilities to manage/recover a lost or stolen device are predicated on Find My iPad being enabled on the device before it was lost.
