    I don't think so, but you should be able to remotely lock or/and erase it.

    To find out, log into iCloud on your computer and start the "Find my iPhone" app.

     

    If you get the message “Your device is no longer locatable”

    This message means that Location Services was turned off on your device while you were using Find My iPhone to locate it. Find My iPhone won't be able to locate your device, but you can still use the app to take certain actions:

    • Make the device play a sound
    • Display a message on the device's screen
    • Lock the device (using the Lock feature in iOS 5.1.1 or earlier, or Lost Mode in iOS 6 or later)
    • Erase the device.

    Note: The ability to use Find My iPhone to locate your device on a map is not available in all countries. Locating your device on a map requires Maps data to be available in that area. All other Find My iPhone features will still work.

    If the troubleshooting steps in this article don't work, follow the steps for troubleshooting the Find My iPhone service. You can also visit the iCloud support page, select your country, and choose a topic from the Find My iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Mac category.
