Explain what happened to the class. Explain that she paid for it herself and uses it to do better work as a teacher. There is nothing more violating than someone stealing something of yours. It's not about property, nor the replacement cost. But it's a terrible feeling to be harmed like that by another person. That person will need to live with a guilty conscience for the rest of their lives.
Everyone makes mistakes. This is an opportunity to correct a mistake. This is an opportunity to learn from poor actions, and become better people by making better actions. If whoever took the iPad is in this room, or knows who did it, they can simply put it back in my desk drawer. Or give it to a friend to give to me. Or, if they feel especially brave, you can bring it back to me in person, and apologize.
I will not be angry. You will not be in trouble. I will not ask questions. I will respect you for admitting your error and trying to make it right. We will move on. I will learn to be more careful about securing my belongings (even though I shouldn't have to), and you will learn that doing the right thing feels a lot better than carrying around a piece of guilt forever.
Was the iPad password protected?

I should have clarified. This isn't a school in a traditional sense. It's a private business that offers one on one lessons. There isn't a classroom full of kids, so unfortunately whoever took it was opportunistic enough to wait until she left the room for 2 minutes and steal it from an empty studio. That definitely hurts the chances of somebody knowing something.
The iPad is password protected, but she's actually not sure if it was locked or not. It was in use the previous lesson. Hopefully the auto lock was on.
Is it difficult to remove iCloud from a pw protected device? What are the thief's options if it was locked?
