Well, that suck-diddly-ucks. As someone mentioned, look into the fine details of your home insurance policy, as on some rare occasions the small print actually works in your favour.
Keep an eye out on ebay, and the trading post, and oztion, and cash converters online, and the like as well. I know with ebay you can set up a search that alerts you to new items listed (either via newsfeed or email), and the others might have something similar. If you want to try identify the serial number, fake an innocent question like "The screens were changed by Sony at one point, so can you tell me the serial number?".
I don't know if Sony DRM works similar to Mobipocket, but, if so, and your device PID is registered with the Sony Connect store to support DRMed purchases (assuming you ever used it so - I realise that from Oz this is of reduced probability), you might want to contact them to see if they can track if someone starts registering purchases on it. (This is merely hypothetical on my part - I have no idea how Sony DRM works...hell, I can't say I'm completely sure how Mobipocket DRM works on my Iliad
).
Again, that sucks. Sorry to hear it.
Cheers,
