If the iPad has not been set-up (activated) by you, there is little that you can do - other than to report the incident to your local authorities.


Unless the iPad has been set-up and is associated with your Apple Account - and Find My enabled - there are no technical means whatsoever that can help you to track or recover the iPad.
