Had Ipad stolen after two months of having it on mother's day!

My Ipad was stolen from me on Mother's Day, yes Mother's Day. I just left my dad's house after dropping my kids off with him to hang out. When I returned home my Ipad charger was still plugged into the wall, but the Ipad was not hooked up to it. (I was charging it before I left the battery was dying and my dad stays less than 20 minutes away). Well after making a police report weeks later my brother confessed his thug friend stole it from out of the house. Unfortunately that thug moved to another county and the police won't make an arrest unless I have a name and a address although I had a telephone number. I already had Icloud registered on my Ipad before it was stolen, but it has yet to locate it. Is there another possible way of finding it?

I went there earlier, but couldn't find any useful information there. It told me to make sure I had Icloud which I had since I first bought it, but Icloud could not find it. It also told me to contact the police, but of course they aren't going to find it. I made a report back after mother's day I've been calling, but yesterday I called again they told me they haven't gotten any new leads. As much as this criminal has been in and out of jail you would think they would be looking for this thug! 😠

The police have more important crimes to investigate. The same thing happened to me and an expensive smart phone. I provided the thief's phone number but the police would not contact him. or investigate further.

I called the thief and he brazenly told me where to go.

The only thing left for you to do is go buy a new device.

I mean it's pretty obvious the police have something better to do. I just hate that somebody would go as far as to steal. I guess I take it so personal because I bought it the same week my doctor called me to let me know there were no more tumors (they were turning into cancer). I mean when your 22 you don't want to find out you have tumors turning into cancer and your in your second stage. So my test coming back negative for cancer cells and my 23rd birthday being a week later was AWESOME! You always have that one person that tries to break you he ****** me off, but good things came soon after!

Thanks for the advice BobTheFisherman sometimes I try to catch myself, but sometimes people have to remind me hey just buy a new one! lol 😁

The "Police" like to catch people who steal things. Doesn't take much of a Google search to find many stories of officers using Find my IPhone to arrest people. If they blow you off, like Bob said they did to him, that is the time to use the chain of command and file a complaint.
