HOW TO LOCATE AN INACTIVE CELL PHONE

Hi there, I was wondering if anyone out there knew how or if it was possible to find a cell phone that is inactive at this point but has been stolen? It was a blackberry 9330 but is no longer on or active. It was left in a car and the car had been broken into and the phone along with other valuables had been stolen. Because the phone isn't on the gps funtion wont work. Is there any way to find out the locatin of the phone without it being active or on? Ive called the company its with and they say there is no way to find the phones location and they cant alert me if and when someone tries to have it activated. Does anyone know of a way around this that will give me a location for the phone or is it impossible as the phone company says? Please reply asap as this is a time sensative issue...Thank you so much for any info you can supply.
