UPDATED OCT. 31st 2007. This does not work now on any version of iTunes 7. Wacky stuff you think?
In order to report your iPod stolen with the police, Apple and a website site registry like stolen911.com, you’ll need the serial number. If you did not write it don’t worry, you can find the serial number in your iTunes software.
- Open up iTunes and go to HELP…
- then Run Diagnostic…
- then iPod Diagnostics.
- Look for the “last connected iPod serial number”.
There will be about 11 digits that are the serial number. Now you can report the iPod stolen to the police and get it listed on stolen911.com. If anyone runs the number in a search engine like Google, they will know the iPod is stolen.

Thanks so much for this info. I doubt we will ever see the ipod again but i’m glad to learn about how to find the serial number and about Stolen 911. I’m really surprised that Apple isn’t more helpful in helping identify who tries to sync up a stolen ipod. If a pawn shop gets in trouble for selling stolen goods why doesn’t Apple get in trouble for enabling the uploading of songs to stolen devices?
