Odds are that someone with it merely erased it with iTunes, which breaks the Find My remote tracking and controls. In that case, no, you cannot remote lock it now (did it not already have a screen lock passcode in use?).


But, if you login to www.icloud.com and it is still listed under your devices, activation lock remains in effect.
