Using the IMEI number to find an offline, lost iPhone 5?

Hi, I recently had my iPhone 5 stolen, on find my iPhone it will not give me the location because it is offline. I was wondering if there was anyway I could use the IMEI (which I have) to find the location of my iPhone.

I think you can't use IMEI into finding your lost iPhone. As far as I know, phones of the same model or unit have the same IMEI. What I'm trying to say is that your iPhone5 and someone's iPhone5 have the same IMEI.
