    Welcome to Apple Support Communities

     

    If you activate lock mode, your Mac will be locked the next time it connects to Internet and it has your Apple ID. After being locked, it won't be possible to use it anymore unless you have the passcode. The answer to the question is maybe, but normally, it should be locked the next time it gets connected to Internet if the thief doesn't change the Apple ID
