IOS – Remote control iPad

But it might not work because 4.3.5 is out. iPad 1 wifi and 3g firmware are the same.

Apple makes their own anti-theft app, and it seems to be a fairly reasonable app as far as features. You can find out more about it here.

As of iOS 6, and the latest version you can use it to remotely (among other things):

• Lock your device
• Erase your device (the app doesn't work after this)
• Display a message to the user
• Play a sound
• Geolocate the device
• Get directions to the device
• Put it in Lost mode, and allow the finder to call you while the device is locked (iPhone only)

Note that it has to have a internet connection, in order to communicate with whatever you are looking it up with. Also, it must have GPS for an accurate location - although wifi only devices that are connected to wifi should display their location, but it will be more general.

This app is the best one for iOS devices. Others have the limitation of sandboxing that Apple uses for security reasons. But sandboxing limits the features other anti-theft (it should be called "Recovery") apps can have.
