Log in to https://icloud.com/find, click on it in the device list, and its status will be displayed. Note that it can’t erase until it has an internet connection, but if you had a passcode on it that the thief doesn’t know your content is safe.
Beware of a common phishing scam: You may get a text or email from “Apple” or “Apple Security” (or sometimes “Police”) saying your device has been found and to click on a link to see its location. This is NEVER from Apple or from law enforcement; it is from the thief or fence to steal your Apple ID and identity. Delete any such message without responding to it. Apple never gets involved in lost or stolen devices→Avoid phishing emails, fake ‘virus‘ alerts, phony support calls, and other scams
