You can't.


Unless you had Settings > iCloud > Find My enabled on it then there isn't any way to try and locate it. If you did have it enabled you could try locating it either via http://www.icloud.com on a computer or Find My app on another iOS device - but that will only work if it's connected to a network


If you think that it was stolen you should report it to the police (to get its serial number : Find the serial number of your Apple product - Apple Support). You should also change your iTunes account password, your email account passwords, and any passwords that you'd stored on websites/emails/notes etc., and if it was a cellular model also contact your carrier.


And see : If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch is lost or stolen
