    You are not addressing Apple here. The SN can only help idenify the device as yours.

    Apple will not help without a court order

    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
