Stolen Unactivated Watch - How to report as stolen

A recently ordered Apple Watch was stolen during delivery. They left the packaging which has the Serial No. Is there a way I can report the Serial No as stolen so it can no longer be activated or used?

Watch Stolen During Shipment Hi, I ordered my first Apple Watch (Series 8) and when I got the shipment, the watch had been stolen out of the Apple packaging. Since I didn’t receive it and hadn’t set it up, is there a way to track it via the IMEI or serial number? If not, is there a way to report it so that it can’t be activated and used by someone else? I’m getting reimbursed for my order but I’d like to ensure the thief can’t use it if at all possible.

How to know if apple watch is stolen? Hi, is there any way you can find out if apple watch is stolen before buying? In this case seller has new watch, box is not opened so watch was never used or connected to any id, but he has no receipt or proof of purchase (saying it was gift), so it could be stolen from post office or in some process of shipping to someone who bought it, or from some store storage, so is there any way to find out if the watch is being searched for by some store, or buyer? If you buy it, and it turns out it was stolen ,can store or person who bought go to apple with serial number or imei number and track it once you turn it on or connect it to network and your id? be safe. Thank you
