Wiped Stolen Ipad

I remotely wiped my stolen gen 8 ipad, not realizing that it would render the findMy feature useless. If someone tries to claim ownership, how will apple know it was stolen? I reported it to the police and the serial number is included in the police report.

iPad, iPadOS 15

Stolen IPad(old)- need proof of ownership I had my iPad stolen recently and I need to show proof of ownership. Once it was stolen, I erased it from my account. Now I don’t have any access to it. For insurance purposes. I need to show proof that I once owned it. Is it possible to do that?

Apple does not get involved with stolen Apple devices. You did the best thing by reporting it to the police.
