MODERATORS
True, the vast majority are to resell or sell for parts, but there are data breaches occasionally as well. My idea is to keep the phone online with the SIM inside long enough for me to login to find my remotely and wipe the phone, that way it'll be wiped and locked down, only useful for parts in that scenario
I am still not sure that it will help.
If they are smart enough to know to pull the sim immediately, caring a faraday bag would be my go to as a thief. Lift phone, immediately place in bag. Open while inside a shielded space. Strip phone for parts.
Job done.
If it is a data breach you are worrying about, the only real solution (and it is a terrible, incredibly limiting one) is to store nothing sensitive locally on the phone that is not encrypted.
