Q: Locked iMac

My iMac was stolen like a month ago, then I immediately tried to track it with Find my Mac but no luck, I issued the notify and lock command, after 3-4 days laters two emails woke me up, one saying that my iMac has been located and other saying that my iMac has been blocked, long story short the police couldn't find my iMac so my question is, if my iMac is locked can the thief wipe out the hard drive and make a new system install? I mean downloading Mountain Lion to a USB key and boot, format the hard drive and then install? Or the lock screen appears before booting to the recovery screen?
