Don't get me wrong. An IP address is a start. But I'd much rather have my n810 also send me a GPS track leading directly to it's current location, timestamped pictures of the thief and be able to delete saved passwords, web accounts and even docs remotely. And I want an app designed for this, not a workaround.

p.s.- You must have some great police in Germany. I can only imagine what response I'd get with only an IP address over a $400 crime here in the U.S. ( I'm not busting on the cops here. Things are just well, different. Property crimes are rarely solved, police are busy... But give them pictures of the thief and a street address with a GPS track AND matching IP addess overlayed on a google map? That would get a response. )
