Stolen Ipad
Dear Apple Support, my Ipad is stolen. Is there any chance to locate it by serial code or something? When I open 'Find my' on Iphone, there writes that my Ipad is offline. Or can I see on page Ipad's mac address to help find it?

You cannot track or trace an iPad using its Serial Number.
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
If the Find My iPad feature was enabled prior to it being “misplaced”, then if active, you would stand a good chance of locating it.
However, if the feature was not activated prior to being misplaced - or the iPad has been inactive for more than 24 hours, the last known location will not be available - and the opportunity to use technical means to recover the iPad have been lost.
NB: Apple are unable to assist with locating lost or stolen devices. Unless you have a recent iPhone with iOS15 installed, there are no technical means by which a device that is powered-off can be located.

No. FindMy is the only way to track it.
