Kindles can't run apps, and even if that were possible, Amazon won't get involved in trying to find and return a stolen device. The Fires do have a "find" option, or at least some do. But it's more for finding the Fire in your home and setting off an alarm so you can locate it.
Amazon of course has info that links the buyer with the device...the serial number springs to mind. We used to tell users to make a note of the device serial numbers in case a device goes missing and has been reset to factory, which removes it from Content & Devices. It could still be blacklisted unless already registered to another account, but you need to know the serial number.
But if a missing device has already been registered to another account, Amazon can't/won't do anything.
