Can my iPhone still be tracked if the battery and SIM were taken out?

Yesterday I've lost my iPhone 4, I know who stole it, one of my classmates is some sort of a "professional thief" from what I heard, he steals phones and immediately disables and sells them.
now my question is, can I somehow track my phone if the SIM was taken out and it is only running as an iPod touch? And if he has taken the battery out also?

sorry for my poor English, I'm really stressed and angry cause I know it was him and I don't have any proofs for that.

I doubt he took the battery out and depending on the iphone then he can't take the sim out, you could always use the app that tracks your phone, there's a site for this.plus you should go to the office and tell them your phone was stolen and you might know who it is, also go to your parents and the parents of this kid who stole it and tell them

You can't take the battery out of an iPhone.

If you had Find My iPhone installed you could have, but if not, then nothing can be done.

If the SIM card is removed, it is still possible to find your phone, but only if the device is turned on and connected to a Wi-Fi network. This would allow your phohne to return its GPS location to Find My iPhone or any other iPhone tracking app, eg, http://www.iphone-spy-software.com

If your phone is powered off, it will prevent your device from reporting its location to the Apple servers (this includes 3rd party tracking services too).

You can't track it if the phone is off.

  • Why does my iPhone photos show the places they were taken? I noticed that if someone sends me a picture and I save it to my photo album it'll show where the location the picture was taken at. Some of the pictures I take myself too will show the location in my album. I'm wondering exactly why it does this lol

  • How to get apps that were taken off the App Store back to ios 6? I got a new iphone 5 hoping I could get apps that were deleted off the App Store (that I bought) back (such as the semi fake display recorder and mctube) but I have not found a way to get them back. When I go to purchased and not on iphone, they aren't there. I remember when I bought the items and they are not in the history to download. Why is that?
  • How to figure out which photos on my iPhone 4 were taken in HD? I recently found out that the reason why all of my photos from my iPhone were not uploading to iPhoto is because some of them were taken in HD, and those (for some reason) can't be imported to iPhoto. I don't know which pictures are in HD because the import stops all of a sudden and says that an error occurred. It doesn't tell me which photos are in HD, which are the ones that stopped the import.
