Default Car was stolen and sabotaged?

Car was stolen and upper radiator hose was disconnected while left idling on the side of the road when they ditched the car.

The cops found the car about 4 or 5 hours after it was stolen. When we got to the car it was still running\started.

When I got in the car all my gauges were at normal operating temperatures. And I didn't think to look under the hood or anything. So when I took off I noticed that my temp started going up at the first red light I hit. When I took off from the red light there was coolant smoke coming out from under the hood and I pulled over as soon as I could and pop the hood and whoever stole the car loosened the hose clamp on my upper radiator hose and removed it from the engine.

My question is considering the temperature wasn't high until I took off and there was still a good amount of coolant that sprayed out when I starting driving the car is my head gasket still more than likely done for gonna need replaced?

Thanks for your time reading this wall of text

Coolant in oil? Oil in coolant? No? Fix the hose and drive until for a bit and check again. Could be fine, could need a HG, but we're not psychic.
