^^^ Excellent!
My Green button operator is older technology.
Good news that you had an easier fix than I would have.

Re: What are the options if someone stole my garage door remote?
I have a suggestion.....
1. Delete all the codes from the garage door operator again.
2. Confirm that none of the remotes will work.
3. Re-Learn only 1 remote.... not all.
4. Try to use one of the other remotes.
My door operator has the Green learn button, so, not the same as the OP.
However..... when I add my car (homelink) or a fob (that I use on my motorcycle), I usually have to train the fob/homelink to an existing remote. Once the fob/homelink is "trained" I do not need to add it to the operator/learn button because it's using the same freq as the already-learned remote that was the source of training for the fob...
So.... If your stolen remote was "trained" by the same source as your other remotes, then deleting and re-learning the old remotes will also add back the stolen one.
You should verify that adding one back doesn't add back the others.
Hopefully that's clear?
If adding one back adds all of them back, you would need to change the DIP switches inside the operator, find a remote with DIP switches that you can set to match, have the operator learn it, then use that remote to re-train all the other remotes.
