Is Find My iPhone useless without Passlock?

If I don't use Passlock and my phone is stolen, I presume the first thing the thief will do is remove the Find My iPhone app from my phone - making Find My iPhone useless without Passlock??


Thanks

iPhone 5, iOS 6.0.1

You can't remove Find My iPhone because it's built-in. The Find My iPhone app is for finding someone elses iPhone which can be removed. BTW, Find My iPhone is for misplaced situation not a thief prevention. There is no way to prevent it.
