My ipod touch was stolen. I do not have internet turned on to it so I cannot lock it. I thought there was a way to lock it so the thief couldn't use it. Can anyone help?

Did you enable Find My iPhone on the iPod Touch before it was stolen?
https://www.apple.com/icloud/find-my-iphone.html
You cannot set up that after it is lost but if it was already active you can enable the missing mode & hope that it goes online. It will report it's location or lock if you enable those in the Find my iPhone app (or at iCloud.com).
If the activation lock was enabled via 'Find my iPhone' the device will be locked to your Apple ID & they need your password to use it…
Find My iPhone Activation Lock - Apple Support
Obviously the device need to talk to Apple's servers to know that it is 'lost', so it may take a while if the internet is deactivated and the device is locked with a password.
Good luck.
