Verify that your the devices logged in to your account or officially yours, by using this link: Check your Apple ID Device List to See where you're Signed in - Apple Support

B. Consider Modifying your Credentials:

Having been lost, someone likey has your credentials. So, by all means, consider modifying them, starting with a new password.

• Modify: your login credentials (Using Both a New eMail and a New Password for each and all sites)
• Associate: a different method of payment to your account
• Enable: Two-Factor Authentication for Apple ID and for all other accounts that have such an applicable option

C. Locating This:

Note that the location is the last place it had an IP Address. So, if at a library, contact it, asking them if it was handed in, and if the have it sitting aside. If using a third-party app (i.e. LoJack by Absolute Software), then log in to that site, seeing if you can locate it.
