Allie:

It's only significant that anyone stole a Horcrux if they also 
destroyed it.  Otherwise, it would still function, although that would 
make it less safe for Voldemort than before.  It would certainly 
shortcut Harry's problem if Lily or the Longbottoms had already found 
and destroyed a Horcrux.
