Stolen Macbook Pro renamed as IMac

Hi All. My Macbook Pro was stolen recently. I locked it. I hoped it might return so did not erase it. Today I received notification that it had been renamed as X's iMac and that X's iMac has been locked. At this stage I've lost all hope of the Macbook being returned and have started the process of erasing contents - which is shown as "pending". I've changed my apple id password. What else should I do? Can someone tell me what the thieves are likely to be doing?

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.14
