If it was locked, the data contained in inaccessible to most normal people. (especially since you did not use an SD card)
If the thief resets the device to factory condition, all data contained will be erased.
Retrieving data from a locked device as well as salvaging erased data from a phone like that will require a significant degree of expertise and tools that individuals do not usually have.
I hope you had backups.
