Could my iPod touch be located through serial number?

Just recently, my iPod touch just suddenly disappeared, i could not be able to find it I do not know if I left in inside the car or I dropped it when I went down from the car, so the problem is that I could not locate it, the internet of it is not turned on, or anything. but for me if someone would find it and keep it as his or her's I hope I could report it as stolen or lost and once that serial number was activated I could know where it is.

iPod touch, iOS 8

Not likely since Apple does not help

lost/stolen

No app on the iOS device is required.

- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod/iPhone/iPad on the iOS device in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected or cellular data is on and connected for, on a computer browser go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up or continue to show off-line.

- You can also wipe/erase the iOS device and have the device play a sound via iCloud.

iCloud: Erase your device

iCloud: Use Lost Mode

- If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.

- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the device and report to police and carrier if iPhone or cellular iPad. Report it here

- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the erase (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 or later on the device. With iOS 7 or later, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.

- Apple will do nothing without a court order

Reporting a lost or stolen Apple product
