[Q] Serial Number

I just loaded a custom ROM on the nexus 7 2013. In the fast boot screen there is information pertaining to the device such as
product name, Variant, Bootloader Ver, etc. There is a serial number also listed. The device is wifi only. I am curious if the serial number would have any merit in locating the device in the event it were lost or stolen and someone were to log into their Google account, create a new Google account, and access the internet. Would there be a way or a service that could find out the ip of the people who stole/found this device via the serial number? Or what is a recommended way of protecting the device and relocating it?

*ISSUE* How to restore IMEI (SM-G532G) Galaxy J2 Prime

Hi. I tried to change my IMEI number using the Chamelephon app. It did work, but it didn't turn out great. Network functions are okay, but it needs constant network operator scan as soon as I turn on airplane mode or restart my phone. The IMEI number became random numbers and symbols.
IMEI 1: >8<4=<:7?7<6?:2
IMEI 2: 9><398?64><6086
EFS is fine. Only IMEI has a defect.
I realized that Chamelephon should only be used on MTK (chinese or cloned) devices. Now I can't seem to find a way to get it back. Can someone teach me how, and do I need to get any Samsung Tool Pro type of things? If yes, how do I get started? (btw I want to do this for free)
