So my eighth-grader gets home today and realizes that her Kindle Fire didn't make it home from school. The last time she can remember having it was right before lunch. We immediately returned to the school and commenced the search. It didn't turn up.

What steps can I take? I thought that I would be able to go to Amazon's website and report it stolen, but the only advice they offer is to deregister it. I'm hesitant to deregister, because at least I can, sort of, monitor it. I changed the name of the device to 'This Kindle was stolen from S*** A***'

The school is aware that it is missing and they have the serial # to check any suspect devices, but they also seem pretty unconcerned. I'm going to wait until school gets out tomorrow before I go to the police department and report it stolen.

Anyone got any advice?
