If someone does a full factory reset the phone will be returned to the original factory settings, just the way you received it! Data on the sd card will not be erased! Unless they format the sdcard!
If you have reported the phone stolen to your carrier they can mark the phone stolen and no one will be able to re activate and use the phone! That is probably up to the carrier!
Sorry for your loss!
