Time for you to head back to the Apple Store and buy a new one.

Chances are, thieves use DFU mode and restore a new firmware and bypass 'Find My iPhone'

Sounds to me like it won't find it due to being locked. Before you buy anything, try to place your iPod into DFU mode and restore with your iTunes, that should disable the password. After you remove the password, recheck and see what you get.
