In order for yuo to be able to track your phone, hyou have t4o have set up 'Find My iPhone' on it before it went missing, and it has to be on, not wiped, and able to connect to a network. If any one of these conditions is not true there is no way of tracking it It can't be tracked by the serial or IMEI number.


If it's stolen and it were to appear in your tracking, you should not attempt to retrieve it yourself: that could be very dangerous.
