Depends on the phone, and the company:

The IMEI can be read from the label under the battery, usually. The thief will probably flog the mobile to a fence who will ship them to a foreign country where they won't be blocked. You may get some satisfaction from knowing a casual thief won't be able to use it in the UK. They may con someone in the pub to buy it though.
