The only way that you can get your stolen phone to work is to run recovery mode. You will have to restored a specific way using iTunes on a computer. There's no other way. Basically open iTunes, connect the phone, and hold down both the power and home button at the same time until you get a recovery mode prompt. The whole process can take almost an hour so do expect that.

Of course if it has a iCloud lock you are SOL. That is impossible to remove, impossible, without Apple doing it for you. And Apple is incredibly stingy about it. They will automatically assume you stole the phone since they will only do it if you can show them that you purchase the phone, which you did not.

Try restoring it if that doesn't work put it in recovery mode and then restore it. Look it up in youtube ( how to put iphone in recovery mode)

It's not impossible if find my iphone is active you need to used pwned dfu mode. Google it
