I'm running Graphene on a Pixel 6. I lost it and someone opened it somehow and called two of my contacts to give it back.

I'm a bit confused how this even happened. When I got the phone back, they were going through my contacts. I checked app usage stats and they went through a banking app (not missing money), maps, signal, etc.

Is there a way to figure out how they even unlocked my phone?

Does your phone have a physical SIM and if so are there any contacts stored on it?

Yeah, but the calls were from my phone, so I think they would have to open it

They could've swapped the SIM to another phone though? Assuming you're rocking a provider default PIN

But again, the calls were placed from his device, and other apps were accessed.
