Where are you looking to find this?


Using a computer, if you use a web browser sign into your Apple ID account on the web and choose Devices in the list of options on the left of the screen you will be presented with a list of all your devices signed into the account.


Click on the one you want - the stolen device - and you will see details about the device. At the top of the panel you will see the name the device, the type of device (eg. iPhone) and the serial number.


If you have an iOS device signed into your account go to its Settings > [Your Name]. On the next screen will be a list of the devices. Touch on the device you seek and you will see the same detail as described above.


On a Mac go to System Preferences > Apple ID and you will see the same list.
