Protect uses BlackBerry data, so it would be tied to the PIN. Even without protect, if someone tries to wipe and activate the device with another SIM they won't be able to activate BlackBerry data on it until you (or your carrier) release it from the current account.

The best thing to do at this point is report the loss to your carrier and see if they will block the IMEI so it can't be activated on a new account. They may do that anyway.
