Stolen iPad

    Soooo my parents have been careless and had their iPad (brand new bought recently, 2 gen) lost/stolen. Currently powered off...

    I have done the following:
    *Logged into iCloud
    *Switched on Lost Mode

    I presume how this usually works is that that the thieves:
    *find a way around the PIN
    *erase the device, thus disconnecting it from the owner's iCloud account

    Just checking that there is nothing more that can be done?

    Apologies if thread is monotonous/inappropriate, did a quick search before posting.

    They can't erase the device without the iCloud password if it's running iOS 7.

    You could ring the Gardai and report it missing but it's unlikely that will do much.

    Old trick it is to

    1) Deregister it from your account
    2) Every so often, try to register it back to your account.

    3) If one day it says "This iPad already registered to a different account", paydirt! You can contact the police, who will contact Apple, and say that this person has my iPad.
