 Assuming that, my question to you is what do the thieves

 The answer, certainly, is they got my phone. And, until I
cancel the SIM with the carrier, they can make calls.

 The bank account, for instance, including payments. My health
records.

 Hi Carlos,
 You can shoot me if I ever say anything that's not logically sensible, so I understand that for *you*, the thieves get a lot
of private sensitive data (if you don't wipe your phone remotely
and if they can access the device).
 They get, oh, your bank account, your health records, your
contacts, your photos (with perhaps sensitive EXIF information
embedded), your Wi-Fi access point record, your browser web
histories, your passwords maybe even (if you keep them in a
plain text file), your ICE contact, maybe even your home
address, your map routing information - perhaps to your best friend's home in addition to your home, perhaps all your social
media accounts, all your sms/mms messages, your upcoming
calendar appointments, etc.
 But I didn't ask Andy what they get if they steal his, or your
phone.
 I asked Andy what do they get if they steal *my* phone.

 It is not about you, it is about the majority of the people.
 For instance, without a mobile phone I can not access operations
with my computer on the bank and several other sites. That's
normality.

 "Normality" is not having a mobile phone at all and actually going
to the bank branch to do your banking.  :-p

Not here.
To go to the bank, we have to request an appointment in advance, using
the computer (or a phone call - good luck with that).
Going to the bank is being actively discouraged.
