Modifying Apple ID Credentials: Use these Apple Support Links:

Security and your Apple ID - Apple Support. Apple ID Security is of High Concern, so modify Apple ID credentials.

What and How to Modify:

• Update your Apple ID eMail Address: Open a new eMail Address. Assign it to the Apple ID. Keep the Apple Account, or all would be lost.

• Create and Use a New Password: Alphanumeric, with special characters, and unpronounceable.

• Associate a New Method of Payment: Rid of current methods of payments.

• Enable Two-Factor Authentication for Apple ID: Log in Safely & Securely

The 'message' you got regarding the location was not from Apple. It was a phishing attempt and you fell for it.

When you used the link in the message to "log in" to see where it was, you gave the thief your iCloud account credentials and they removed it from your account, removing the activation lock on the device.

You need to change your iCloud password IMMEDIATELY.

They do not want to add the device back to your list. They wanted to turn off Find My iPhone, so they could restore the device to use it themselves. That allowed them to disable Activation Lock. The phone is gone now, you will not get it back.

Without your passcode for the device, their only option was to wipe the phone and reactivate it. It would appear you gave them what they need to remove Activation Lock. They are probably already using the phone. Nothing you can do there. You can contact your carrier to see if they provide blacklisting services, but that doesn't always go to all carriers. If the carrier does not share that blacklist, then it won't matter, they can activate it on another carrier.

Follow this link. Chances are the iPhone ran out battery.

Devices aren’t removed from Find my iPhone because the device is dead

You're fine. Relax. The fact the old phone was stolen has no bearing on the new phone. Also, since you changed your password, then your Apple account is safe.
