Thats all you can do...

Assuming you gave them your iPhone's IMEi.

I have the iphone serial number. Is there a way I can go to Apple and have them permanently lock it or some thing?

Not to sound rude, but if you get something like that stolen, you shouldn't own it.

you need to have AT&T not only lock the sim but they also need to lock the IMEi number that would render the phone inoperable.

AT&T does not do IMEI locking.

You can't lock an IMEI, you can only track it so if someone else tries to use it with your wireless company, they'll see its stolen.

You didn't have any naked pictures of yourself on there did you? Seriously though that sucks man. When I had my Treo there was a program called Little Blue Pill, where you could send a SMS to the Treo with a code to wipe the contents and lock it. Something like that should be done for the iPhone.
