They probably make you file a police report with the serial number listed as stolen.
Anyone who has that connected to their plan might actually get caught, simply because the serial number is on a blacklist and cannot be changed.
You'd obviously need proof it was stolen (police report).
I'm pretty sure your serial/IMEI number will be blacklisted with AT&T and anyone that tries to activate it will fail. They will also report it to the police.
