How can I tell if someone has wipe my IPad
Someone stolen it from my son gym bag at school. It is still showing as offline on Find Mi IPhone.
I did report it to the Police. If they removed the SIM card, will it still shows offline. I am new to this technology. Just trying to figure out why it still says offline. From day one that's what it has been saying. I started to track it an hour later after it went missing Dam High School Student and it tills say offline.

cant they put it on the black list like they do phones? You may not get it back, but at least someone elese cant activate the cell list.
so looks like findiphone doesn't help much, I have mine got stolen as well, report to police and apple with IMEI, but that's it..nothing they can do.
This is why you should engrave it.
Really good chance they wiped it clean and removed Sim card. As long as it stays offline you will not be able to track it.
If they wiped it then its gone. File insurance etc and get a new one cause that one ain't likely ever coming back
You don't have to unlock it to wipe it.this is why i like jailbreak..so i can use android lock screen and make weird design code and they wouldn't be able to open.....

Treat all Apple devices like you are carrying around a fistful of cash. As soon as you put down that fistful of cash down somewhere (like a public bench), someone will steal it the moment you are not looking.

Anyone with a clue knows how to bypass any locks and restore the device. Heck if they don't know they can walk into any Apple Store and find out.
'Hi how can we help you today?'
"My kid locked himself out of his iPad. Is there is way to fix that?"
'We can help you with that. But we'll have to restore it which will wipe everything out.'
'That would be okay, he's backing it up to that cloud thing. But he has it with him and I don't think I'll be able to come back before he needs it for school tomorrow. Can I do it at home?'
'Yeah just (whatever the trick is)
Problem solved. And unlike unlocks, jailbreaks don't screw the firmware so its a guaranteed brick if you try to restore it. Even if it does, it was stolen so you aren't out any money. Heck if its under warranty you could claim it was acting up and you tried to restore etc and possibly get a replacement.

Agreed. Unfortunate, but you can not leave it out of your sight.
Sadly, I have to agree with you. It is a shame that people take something that doesn't belong to them.
