"Locked MacBook no longer reflecting on my devices: Thank you so much, that really helped. After all this, does information get erased on removed / deleted devise OR we just rely on the fact that the thief can’t use our credentials? What happens to a blocked/locked/removed/deleted devise?"

You are Welcome.

A. Apple ID:

Having reset the Apple ID, no information will get removed that has has not already been removed. So, don't share your eMail address with anyone whomsoever.

B. Mac:

As for the device, it will stay as it is with the same hardware. If you locked it with Find My, then it will be inaccessible.
