Honda Civic 2014 EX Block Heater

Question

I have a 2014 Honda Civic Ex Sedan. The dealer installed a block engine heater before the last winter. When they finished the installation, I had 2 cables like these:

These cables were going out from the bottom of the bumper like this

But as you can see, there is only the male connector now.

Can someone tell me where can I find the female connector? I mean this (the picture below is a reference. It's not for cars)

What kind of cord is it? AND the most important thing, where do I connect it under the hood?

I didn't know that the female connector could be removed easily and it's a shame that someone stole it.

I went to Canadian Tire but they didn't know of what I was talking about. I called the dealer to explain what happened, but they told me that I need to buy a new block heater package (around $100).

I tried to do a research on Internet but I cannot find anything about it. I reviewed my installation bill and I found the generic product code 08T44-SNA-301, but curiously it doesn't come with the female connector. This is the link where you can find the details of the product and how to install it in the car.

I think newer models of honda include a place to connect the female cord or maybe a connector to the battery.

The male connector has a sticker that it says "pyroil" 1752 10amp 125v 1250w

I live in Canada by the way.

Thanks

I hate to tell you this, but any 12/3 extension cord (15A or better) will do what you need. I see nothing there which you need anything special to get your block heater attached to AC power. I grew up in a cold environment (Northern Rockies in Montana). All our cars had block heaters. We never had anything special beyond the male plug you've shown in the third picture to plug our cars in. Grab an extension cord and find out for yourself.
