Lost iPad


First, addressing the loss itself, start here:

Locate a device in Find My on iPad - Apple Support


Here is Apple’s advice for lost or stolen devices:

If your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch is lost or stolen – Apple Support

Use the Find My app to locate a lost or stolen device – Apple Support


If the Find My iPad feature was enabled prior to it being “misplaced”, then if active, you would stand a good chance of locating it. 


However, if the feature was not activated prior to being misplaced - or the iPad has been inactive for more than 24 hours, the last known location will not be available - and the opportunity to use technical means to recover the iPad have been lost.



Insurance


Contact your insurance company/broker. Your insurance policy is likely to require explanation of the loss - and potentially supporting evidence of original ownership in addition to your recovery attempts.


Depending upon your policy terms, if your claim is accepted, the underwriter may make a “cash” settlement - or might replace the iPad themselves. The manner in which the claim is handled/settled will determine the actions that you’ll need to follow.
