the only way you;d have a chance on the wi-fi devices, so far as I can tell:
If there is ANY service that either of those devices would automatically log into, or check in with...AND if you can get the devices new IP when it does log/check in (aka you'd need access to any form of connection log) you might be able to find its general-ish area. If you use a mail service that lets you see activity (gmail does, I dont know about others) with the IP of recent connections, you can put that IP here: https://www.maxmind.com/en/geoip-demo
In the GeoIP2 results box, you may see GPS coordinates. I assume these could vary wildly, but using my own IP it returned the GPS coords for the last router in the link to my house. Test may be a bit skewed as I get my internet via 2.4GHz link to a 250' radio tower thats 7 miles away from me. The GPS returned were the coords to the radio tower.
So, if you use any service that 1) the devices would sign into on their own and 2) you can see the IP used while the devices are stolen...you may be able to narrow down the location, but not to the thieves front door.
