Had an ipad stolen that had only been used once or twice and I do not think it was ever fully set up. Is there any way to locate it just to shut it down. I have the receipts and the box with serial number. Any help would be appreciated.
iPad (9th generation)
As described, the iPad is likely unrecoverable.
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.

If you never set up the iPad in Find My, there is nothing more you can do.
