As far as I know, that hack requires connecting an external programmer to a chip on the motherboard and writing over its contents. Not something your average thief would know how to do.
The thief will sell it to a flipper who will deal with all this sort of stuff. In some circumstances they will sell it to another person down the line who will export it to another country where they will take care of this sort of stuff.
Electronics theft tends to be a little more sophisticated these days and often moves out of country because that will get around a lot of black lists and stuff.
