Long story-short: Went home, located the phone through MobileMe and then remotely locked it. Husband went to the location, phoned the police and through some lucky consequences the cop was able to "persuade" a "young lady" into telling them which snowbank she tossed it in after she realized it was useless when I locked it.

The only thing you have to remember is not to call your service provide to report it stolen. Because after they suspend service the GPS doesn't work. Just remotely lock it yourself and you're able to make it useless for the person that has it.
I. Love. That. Feature.

I wonder if the cop followed up with anything or just considered it settled? Hopefully there's no water damage.
