Apple puts up a front with its "find my iphone" app, but doesn't the world agree that serial number tracking of registrations should play a part. My main issue is that the iPod touch is forever registered to me unless I remove it, but does Apple allow a thief to register the same device, the same serial number twice? If that were so, there are laws in most countrys that would classify this as an accessory to a criminal act, allowing and encouraging a black market of stolen apple goods. The same prompt system used for apple password changes. Similar I should assume applies to apple with its sophisticated policies, that a stolen device has to be registered before syncing with another computer by way of serial number and that I should get an email to say that somebody is trying to re-register my device on another computer. Now I remember that when using older Microsoft programs I had to enter a serial number and register it online to use the program, and if all "uses" had been used I could not register and use that program. What concerns me is that according to other posts people can hook my iPod touch up to another computer and iTunes, wipe it clean and re-register so they can use it themselves. I have been told by Police to obtain my serial number which is registered to my apple account. This form of tracking does NOT work over iCloud functions, so there is no way for me to track my iPod touch. I have found that no apple device can track without the help of cellular of wifi, however though using the device I can track my movements on mapping apps without actually being connected to any particular wifi or cellular network. I had iCloud on and "find my iphone" as well. I have recently lost my iPod touch device through property theft.
