Not mine but when others have iPhone, iPad, or other devices stolen, I just read this:
Quote:
Every time an Apple device is stolen, detectives attempt to get tracking numbers from the victim or online records.
That number, known as the International Mobile Station Equipment Identity, is then shared with the officers in Police Headquarters who pass it on to Apple.
The California-based company then informs the NYPD of the device’s current location — and it can track it even if it was reregistered with a different wireless provider.
So, if mine is nabbed, where do I find my tracking numbers?
Just remembered. My grandson goes to Pacific University in Forest Grove, Oregon [PU] and had his Apple laptop stolen. They did the police report and their homeowners insurance bought him a new laptop. Many months later, he got a call from the police saying his laptop had been found as someone tried to pawn it.
