Stolen phone - can the IMEI be traced?

So mums phone which she has had in her drawer for just under a year has seemingly been stolen. We highly suspect someone in particular who has probably taken it.

We have the IMEI number of the phone, but there has been no SIM card in the phone for the last year or so. Is there anything we can do to find out when that phone was last used and with what SIM? It was last used with Virgin Mobile.

We have the old SIM with us which is now being used in a different phone. It is suspected that the person who has taken the phone has probably put their SIM in the phone. Is there anyway to determine this if we have the IMEI number?

Just wondering if anyone has any ideas on how best to proceed?

Thanks :)

    It's certainly technically possible. Whether you can persuade anyone who has the authority to check the call records to bother is another matter.
