Locate and track it? No. Report it to Law Enforcement, but other wise protect your information.
If your iPhone or iPad was stolen - Apple Support

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 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 Find My was not enabled, you cannot track the iPad, nor can you
put it into Lost Mode or request a remote Erase.
Note that even when they can be tracked, stolen devices are rarely recovered. The value of Find My in such situations lies largely in letting the owner “brick” the stolen device to make it less valuable to thieves and fences. Since your iPad was not protected, the thief or a customer will be able to reset and wipe your iPad to “make your iPad their own.”

Funny that - yes I did - and I commented that it was impossible to trace a lost-stolen iPad if Find My had not been enabled.
The link provides context - and may help others, that have sensibly enabled Find My, to find relevant information.
