If the thief simply erased it by restoring it in iTunes or finder, then the remote tracking link is broken and you will not be able to track it with Find My. Nobody needs to hack anyone’s AppleID to remove a device from Find My. They just need to erase the device.


As long as that device remains listed under your AppleID trusted devices (https://appleid.apple.com/) then activation lock will prevent anyone from setting it up and using it.
