Default C5 stolen & Hypertech #30025 w/vin locked

I hope this is in the correct forum. I used to own a beautiful C5 2001 Red coupe. I had hypertech 30025 installed and got awesome results with it. My problem now some piece of HUMAN WASTE stole my baby this past Sun at 3 a.m. If I dont get my baby back in 1 piece.....is my Hypertech useless? How can I reset it, so I can sell it or should it be trashed?

Thanks for all your help over the past few years. Wish I had LoJack installed.

But if you send them the original receipt and a copy of the insurance report that the car was stolen/totaled.

They will do it for $75. It happen to me on a Z28 and they only charged me $75.

It is not really locked. The Hypertech just swaps programs with the PCM. So the Hypertech is holding your car's original tune so you can switch back to it in the future. In that state the Hypertech isn't useful to anybody else.
