Actually if police wants they can get ur phone back as u know every mobile has its own unique imei no(International Mobile Equipment Identity). If some person uses your mobile with other SIM they can track that number and can identify that person and get ur mobile back. But i think u need to register ur complaint with the service providers with ur unique IMEI number of the mobile.

errrr...do ipods have IMEI number???

@max_demon, there are some ipod touch tracking softwares but problem is that they need to be installed on the device, without which I don't think you can track it.

But if it connects to any wireless network using it's inbuilt wi-fi, you will be able to track using macid

Do not pray to god asking for help to retrieve lost ipod. ask Him to shower you enough money to buy new ipod.

not asking to know your secrets. Black mailing with your E-mails...!?!? What will be things in E-mails to black mail?

I'm sure that the person who found that ipod won't be a savvy enough.

If you really have confidential info on a mobile, why didn't you use encryption on it or atleast a tracking software? It definitely is your fault.

@vamsi, that again depends on who finds the ipod. :)

^^ it is actually not that important because the mails are forged into porn messages , with text inside images . but i am worried if the person finding it might be tech mastermind :-S

btw, even if the person isn't tech savy, he may in any case sell it to someone else and i'm sure no tech illiterate guy will ever buy an ipod touch.:-|

Reporting to Police isnt going to help! Because i think there wasnt any theft.May be you forgot it entirely at Cinemax Theatre.
And :D What !!!!! You actually hid text in porno pictues and you think the thief is going to blackmail you. :D LMAF
See about the blackmail thing dontbe worried.I can help you with it is someone traces you back.Just make sure to PM me.(More so if the person is from Nagpur)
And Second please take care of your belongings. Where did you report ? Buldi Station...?

I too experienced iPod theft - I was at school, when I went to the bathroom it was stolen from my backpack...rude!
I found this online resource to report my iPod stolen:
*www.stolen-property.com/report-stolen-ipod.php
Hopefully this helps - it did make me feel better.
