It depends. They are able to find something sometimes. Some time ago, I received a summons to the police station to give an explanation because my phone - note - Xiaomi Redmi 4X, which basically has sentimental value, was stolen. After logging in to the network, it turned out that we had the FRP lock removed and a SIM card was inserted (registered). After talking to the investigator, I found out that they had recovered the phone after searching another person`s apartment. It`s a matter of will.
Everything else is also correct, i.e. you report the matter to the police and only then contact the operator to block the IMEI number, which in turn reduces the chances of recovering the device.

How the Internet works on the phone even without a SIM card in the case of Android - interesting fact.
Doesn`t work. Either it provided the last known location, or the phone was connected to the Internet, e.g. via WiFi. The WiFi option, of course, is no longer available after restoring factory settings because the old account on the phone no longer exists.

What equipment are you talking about, probably not the famous Pegasus?
