An acquaintance contacted me and instead of a phone number it is from an email address and from an ipad. The messages come in labeled “Stolen iPad” and I am wondering if there’s anything I can do to let the owner of the iPad know where it is, since I don’t know who they are?
Apple does not label a message that says "Stolen iPad". You may be getting scammed, so make sure you do not provide any personal information or use a link in the message that may ask for your Apple ID. In any case, there is no way you will be able to contact the owner. The original owner of the iPad knows exactly where it is because the can track in on Find My. Another person will not be able to use a stolen iPad unless they were able to guess the Passcode in under 10 attempts before the account was locked. That is likely to not happen.
