ipod stolen but has no icloud acct on it, can it be recovered

My nephews iPod (5th gen) was stolen, it has not been reset or anything because it still keeps voice messages when sent. It had no iCloud acct on it and find my iphone app was not on it either. Is it possible to take another ipod, reset it and start fresh under his apple acct. download find my iphone app on it, also starting up an icloud acct and get all that to transfer to the stolen iPod to be able to find its location?

iPod touch, iOS 8.4.1

Not likely you can get it back

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.

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.

- Apple will do nothing without a court order

Reporting a lost or stolen Apple product
