The music sync is one way - computer to ipod/iphone. The exception is itunes purchases.

Was your backup copy of your computer stolen as well?

It has always been basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer ( files/docs/pics/music/etc).

If you have failed to backup or it was stolen as well, you can try ( at your risk) a 3rd party program to extract the music, not supported by Apple.

Google is your friend - there are plenty of iPhone/iPod media recovery packages out there which will extract the content for you.
