Sorry for your experience, but …
You don’t.
Police sometimes do.
But even then the device will usually be held for quite some time as evidence of the crime.
The outcome for you is unfortunately the same:
It’s gone.
Obtain a replacement and restore it from a backup of your previous device.
Did you fall for this common phishing scam: You may get a text or email from “Apple” or “Apple Security” (or sometimes “Police”) saying your device has been found and to click on a link to see its location. This is NEVER from Apple or from law enforcement; it is from the thief or fence to steal your Apple ID and identity. Delete any such message without responding to it. Apple never gets involved in lost or stolen devices→Recognize and avoid social engineering schemes including phishing messages, phony support calls, and other scams
Finally, if you actually could locate it how could that help? Confront the thief? People have been murdered doing that. Ask the police? Unless you live in a very small town police don’t want to get involved with low value thefts that have very little chance of recovery. Your phone is probably already on its way to a repurposing factory in Shenzhen, China.
My iPad does not show in finder. It disappear in System data under USB. Should I just continue or will some actions not work?
should state it appears
