This is a very entertaining and educational article, giving insights into the methods used by thiefs to try and get access to your phone data.

I don’t like Apple but it’s great that their security is so good when it comes to this.

AFAIK you can’t wipe the IMEI and if you report it stolen to providers they will block it from using their networks. (It will only be able to use wifi.)
