If you had already set up the FindMyiPod feature on the iPod and wifi is on and some other coditions are met then you might be able to locate it by going to icloud.com and signing and clicking on the FindMyiPhone icon. Otherwise, you look for it like any other item like a lost shoe.
Report it to the police and change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod. Apple will not help find it.
It also depends on if you are covered for theft, loss etc. if not then lllaass is right, police time.
Change your iTunes (Apple ID) password along with any other password that was stored in the iPod. If any passwords are associated with credit cards, contact the CC company and get your card replaced (with a new number). If any passwords are associated with your bank or any savings institution, contact them also and discuss approprate action with them.
The "Find my..." function is pretty much useless if the device is in the hands of a thief. All that is necessary is for the thief to connect to any computer with iTunes and "Restore as new."
The only real protection you have is with the personal information on the device rather than the physical device itself. Something as small as an iPod should have a strong 8-digit (or longer) password AND be configured for automatic wipe in the event of ten consecutive incorrect password entries.
I never set up an icloud account and I am wondering how i can at least make the itouch unuseable to the thief. I actually left it David and Busters at the Palisades Center Mall in West Nyack NY and it hasn't turned up in a week now.
