Question

I am out of the country and my iPad was stolen. My phone does not work here and there is no place to contact apple with a general question to see if I can find out what my serial

I am trying retrieve my serial number for the iPad but no luck on apple/s web site. Is there a way to track it's location after the fact? It was not set up or even registered, guess I was naive thinking it would never get stolen. Any help in how to locate the serial # would help. At least then I can report it stolen.

iPad 2, iOS 6.1.4, Help!

Unless you enabled Find My iPad on it before it was stolen then there isn't any way to locate it. If you did enable it then you could try locating it either via http://icloud.com on a computer or Find My iPhone on another device - but that will only work if it's connected to a network and the device hasn't already been wiped and/or Find My iPad disabled on it.

If it was stolen then you should report it to the police. You should also change your iTunes account password, your email account passwords, and any passwords that you'd stored on websites/emails/notes etc.

If it was never registered to your account then it won't appear on your support profile : https://supportprofile.apple.com/

The only other ways to find it that I know of (apart from on the actual device) are via the packaging, the backup on a computer's iTunes : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4061
