itouch 4g stolen

I think all they have to do is go into settings and just disable the GPS on the device. After that they are good to go and find my iphone will not pick up the location.

Go to icloud.com and login using her login info. From there, remotely lock the ipod and then put a message on it and put a password on it that only tou or yoir daughter would know. If you don't get it back, at least youll know that they can't do anything with it

All the thief would need to do is do a restore.

Bad advice for reasons I've already stated in this thread. Too late for OP, though. He already did that. The thief was forced to wipe it, which means the iCloud account is no longer associated with it and he'll never get an update.

If it is ever connected to the internet it will show last known location...

The theif can never connect it to the Internet if he/she can't unlock it or try to use it.

My 14yo daughter iTouch 4g she got for Xmas was stolen at her high school. The curious part of the ordeal was it happened in the girls locker room. She said someone broker her combination master lock and took the iTouch and the lock. She is so bummed and could not sleep all night. I told her hope she learns her lesson that there are thieves ou there.

Anyway I can track her iTouch? .

I hate thieves

My brain hurts after reading this. If I wrote like this (for work) I would deserve to be terminated.

Oh, the pain ...

I don't know if turning off location services will do. I think that controls whether-or-not apps can access your location. I think iCloud FindMyiPod overrides it.

The iPod doesn't have a GPS chip to disable. Apple has a crowed-sourced database of coordinates for most wifi networks and the routers' unique MAC addresses. Google has their own database built the same way.

You'll never get it back.

those school combo locks are notoriously weak, just hit them with a heal of a shoe will open them. at least that's ow they were when I was in school and I'm pretty sure they haven't improved any in the last 35 years.

Only hope is getting the police involved, and checking with accounts for last used IPs.
Then you use that IP with the ISP to trace it to the address, and bingo, you know the place it's been used at last.

If the thief knows how the internet works, he'll not connect that thing to the net, before having reset the device. Still, it's pretty much your only hope.

It's likely you can go to police and file a report. But they won't do much. Plenty people that get stuff stolen or scammed. My radio was stolen in an older car while over night at a mechanic. I filed a report and never heard anything.

Maybe she sold it.

At first I was like "iTouch 4G? You mean MyTouch 4G right?"

Now I see that OP meant iPod Touch 4th Generation.

 

[RagingBITCH]

Sorry, but stuff gets stolen all the time in high school. Don't have her bring valuable crap to school, or don't have her flash it around before throwing it into the locker. Her fault? No, but kids won't think twice about stealing if they get the chance.

Never read or heard anyone doing this on Ipod touch. Is this even possible?

O CRAP I was just notified that the I touch was located. It went online for a few minutes(4 min) then it went offline. It was pinpointed in front of the school. It says the battery is 58%. How could this be when it is locked. I locked it.

My theory is since I touch automatically connects to school it triggered it but the person that has it cannot get pass the password protected itouch because it is lock thats why it is only on for 4 minutes.

please for the love of god stop calling it an I touch!!!!@!!one
