My father had his 9th generation iPad stolen from his bag at work of all places.
Is there a way to ping its last known location? Somewhere it must’ve registered or pinged something before the individual turned the device off…
Equally, do I just keep the ‘Find My’ app open and hope it turns back on to track it…
Any advice, support or guidance would be must appreciated. My father is utterly devastated.

Start here:
Locate a device in Find My on iPad - Apple Support
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 or stolen, 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 or without a network connection for more than 24 hours, the last known location will not be available - and the opportunity to use technical means to locate or manage the iPad may have been lost.
