• Locate Ipad By Serial Number

Last night my friend left his iPad in a taxi. He was drunk and was trying to help his even more drunk girlfriend out of the cab and by the time he got into the house it was gone. He either left it in the taxi, or outside his house. Either way it was an expensive night out. I was just wondering whether there was anything that Apple can to track or lock his iPad based on the serial number? If he had activated 'Find My Ipad' then perhaps this would have helped. But he didn't so I am just wondering whether there is any other way?

I look forwards to your thoughts Jon. Last night my friend left his iPad in a taxi.

He was drunk and was trying to help his even more drunk girlfriend out of the cab and by the time he got into the house it was gone. He either left it in the taxi, or outside his house. Either way it was an expensive night out.

We did all that before going down this route. They have checked their cabs and there is no sign of it. They have asked the driver and he has not seen it. They do seem potentially keen to give us the details of the other customers who they transported after us. Personally I would hand this over to the police now, as its still a theft which ever way you look at it. IF ONLY he had setup 'Find My iPad'. THIs would have told us exactly where it was and combined with information from the Taxi firm, it would have been pretty easy to find it.

That said I have just been thinking about it and I am not sure if 'Find My Ipad' would even work. Since it had a Passcode, there is no way that they would have got in, to register it on their WiFi network. They only way the 'thief' would be able to use it is if they did a factory reset, and then 'Find My Ipad' would no longer be configured. So whilst its a nice idea, I don't think that it would actually work in a real world application, unless the iPad actively hunts for an open HotSpot so that it can notify the server about its location.
