Lock it and if your computer meets all the requirements for Find My you might be able to find it.
Apple - Find My iPhone, iPad and Mac - http://www.apple.com/icloud/find-my-iphone.html and: iCloud: Find My iPhone overview - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2696
The following conditions ALL have to be met:
1) You have the "Find My" activated BEFORE you lose the device.
2) The device is turned on and for cellular connection has a SIM card installed.
3) The device is able to connect to a registered wifi connection. (iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch) or data network (iPhone, iPad with cellular).
4) The device was not restored by a finder of the device (if it was really stolen then the thief has probably restored it unless you are running iOS7+ and activation lock is active).

Yes.
iCloud: Locate your device - https://support.apple.com/kb/PH2698- "If Find My iPhone can’t locate the device, the last known location is displayed for up to 24 hours. "
