Yes, you are Janet J.

I read about an eight year old boy that had his ipad stolen and some other things from their home was taken too. He downloaded an app that showed by sattelite where his ipad was and his parents contacted the police and they bused some guys who had robbed over 200 homes they estimated and the value of things was over $350,000. You may want to check into this.

I have heard about tracing your stolen IPad. The program can be erase but you really have to know what you are doing.

I have an app called "find iPhone" on my phone and iPad. I'm not sure if this is the same app in the article or not. Abi's iPhone fell out of her pocket on the bus last year and Brooke used that app to find it. She could see it traveling through the neighborhoods. She called the school and they went out to the bus, stopped it and asked if anyone had found a phone. They said right away that the phone was being tracked by GPS so a kid immediately said he had just found it. Who knows if he would have turned it in if they hadn't said that.

I just remembered that my cousins iPad was stolen last year in Albuquerque (very high crime city) and she tracked it with the same program. When she called the police, they said they didn't have time to deal with petty crime like that and they would go out to where she said it was when they had time, which of course gave the thieves time to disable the program. She never got it back.

I hate some cops, my sister was taken to jail because she wanted to get her son from the dad. I told her to just grab him and the cops said they were going to call CPS and I told her CPS cannot do anything because the dad did not have custody. Well my sis and the cop were arguing and the cops just took her to jail on the charge of disrupting property :mad: And I was the one who called the cops because the dad had her lock in the bedroom. But I'm off subject.

Gayle I don't remember the name of the tracking program or if there's more than one. :confused:

my app is called "find iPhone" - I have it on my iPad too.

Do you have the 'find iPhone' on your iPad or 'find iPad' ? I would really like to have this program.

It's called Fine My iPhone, and it works for the iPhone, iPad and my Mac computer. It's a free app too!

I found it. Now I just need to get another apple device to be able to find it...lol.

I think you can call apple and they will help you find it if you don't have another device.

Well that's nice to know. Maybe I could use Rick's iPod Touch.
