Can I find out if an ipad was stolen?

My friend bought a used iPad. the seller forgot to log out of the apple ID. Is there anyway we can confirm it wasn't stolen and sold by the actual owner?

Hello ~ Can your friend contact the seller? If the person/persons that your friend bought the iPad from cannot or will not remove it …the iPad is basically useless to you. If they cannot/will not remove it…return it and get their money back. We cannot help remove it nor can Apple. Take a look here:
