How can I track my stolen iPhone?

I bought my phone on 28.02, the phone is still not activated and is not turned on, it was in the box it was in, I forgot the phone on 9.03 in my car in the morning as it was in the box, and in the evening at 20:30 they broke into my car and stole the phone

Apple can't help you. Apple doesn't get involved in lost or stolen devices at all. And since it was never activated, there is no way to use Find My to track it. Whoever stole your phone is sadly going to be able to use it. If you know the IMEI number, you can contact your carrier and explain the situation and ask them to blacklist the phone. On a final note, you can contact the credit card issue you used to buy the phone and see if they offer any help for stolen devices.
