The only way the thief could have erased it is if they knew your Apple ID and password. Did you perhaps get a message from “Apple” saying your phone had been found, and to log in to see its location? That was a phishing message from the thief to steal your identity. If that’s what happened change your Apple ID password immediately, and consider that all of the data in your iCloud storage and at appleid.apple.com is now in the hands of criminals.
