I do have a query regarding my iPhone. Suppose my iPhone gets stolen the first thing that bloody thief will do is, he'll throw away my sim card. My phone is passcode protected. So my question is:How can Find My iPhone help me because to get that device connected to internet (WiFi or mobile carrier) he'll have to open the passcode which he can't and Find My iPhone will only work if the device is online.Will he be able to put my phone in recovery mode without having the lock opened and completely erase all my data using iTunes?

Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.
