Oct 30, 2012 at 0:14 comment added wwwuser I called the police department about my case and they said there is no need to follow up. They'll contact me if they find anything. I wish there was something I could do to help get the iPad back. Are there third parties that help locate an iPad based on a serial number? I don't feel okay with just sitting around and waiting. I realize the police can only do so much, but I wish there was something I could do to help.

Oct 28, 2012 at 18:08 comment added wwwuser Follow up questions, do pawn shows have to report everything they receive to the police? Should I be calling/visiting pawn shops to look for the device? Should I be calling the police department asking for updates every few weeks to see if the iPad was found?
Oct 28, 2012 at 17:04 comment added bmike This is a good list: 1) File a police report with any/all local districts to maximize the chance of recovery at pawn shops and such 2) Report the theft and police report to Apple and the cellular carrier but don't expect much from that other than knowing they have the information.
