You won't be able to locate it using the id number. I've removed it from your post as someone could potentially use it for fraud.

All you can really do is attempt to physically find it or report it as stolen and let your service provider block the handset. If you didn't have a PIN on the lock screen, you'll want to change your passwords and make sure that no one is using any accounts you had on the phone. If the phone has been stolen, the thief will normally discard the SIM and hard reset the phone before selling it for quick money.
