How do I delete my apple ID from my lost/stolen iPod?

So a few days ago I lost my iPod. I've already ordered a new one, since there is no capable way of finding it.

My problem is that if somebody finds it, I don't want them getting into it.

So... How do I make it that I can delete my apple ID from the iPod, without physically having it?

Please help, it's much appreciated.

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.

If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch is lost or stolen

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

- 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.
