How do I find my lost iPad Air without Find My?

I lost my iPad Air on a ferry. Find My was on, and the tablet had about half power left. I didn’t notice my iPad missing till two days later, and at that point, the battery would have no power. I’ve been repeatedly checking to see if someone tried to power it up, by checking Find My. My iPad is locked with a password. Any suggestions on what I might do then continue to check Find My on my other device?

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”, 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 recover the iPad may have been lost.

My IPad does not show up on the Find my app. It has run out of power and is not turned on. I have been checking to see if anyone has tried to charge it, but so far nothing. I assume if someone does plug it in I will see where it’s located
