    Here's what Apple suggests:

    If you have lost or found an Apple product, please contact your local law enforcement agency to report it.

    You can take steps to find your lost or stolen iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Mac if you've enabled Find My Mac and Find My iPhone apps. Using your Find My apps allows you to put your missing device in Lost Mode, see its location, or erase its data. Other than the Find My iPhone and Find My Mac apps, there is no other Apple service that finds, tracks, or otherwise flags your device for you.

    An iPhone that has the Activation Lock enabled, can't be used anymore by another person, unless you know the Apple ID and password that has been used to set it up the first time.
