how do i find my stolen ipod

Do you have any software installed on it that would allow it to be tracked? Do you have a MobileMe account and installed "Find my iPhone" on it? If not then you can't track it. Report the theft to the police. Be sure to provide a serial number if you expect any chance of recovery.

If you didn't have the free find my iPhone or iPod Touch enabled on your iPod, you won't.

If this was enabled and you didn't have the Passcode lock feature enabled, all the thief has to do is turn the option off, or not have the iPod connected to a wi-fi network, or power if off before restoring the iPod with iTunes as a new iPod.

If you didn't have the Passcode lock feature enabled, change the password for every email account you were accessing the the iPod's Mail app.

If with AT&T, AT&T offers a paid feature that includes such an option - for a parent that wants to track a child's phone that is under a family plan. With the find my iPhone feature with an iPhone, being connected to the cellular network allows for this to work. With an iPod Touch it is limited having to be connected to a wi-fi network.
