Apple has no serial number registry. Find My app is the official means Apple provides to track an Apple device.

No. There is no serial number registry. Apple dose not track serial numbers in this manner.


Read Apple's guidance in my previous post, this is Apple's full response to theft and loss.


Your situation is completely out of Apple's influence in any way other than simple advice about actions you should take, i.e. their guidance.
