Password to Shutdown iPhone
There is a possibility to turn off the iPhone it require the password to enable this shutdown? It would allow the brake bandits because it would make it easier to search for a lost or stolen iPhone!
No there is not

Unfortunately there is no such possibility right now. You may want to suggest this to Apple at: http://www.apple.com/feedback/
Hi Amailto,
This suggestion has been made quite a few times.
Find my iPhone - prevent from theif turning it off with passcode?
There's the question of whether this would stop the thief at all, given there are other ways to disable network access such as wrapping the phone in tin foil or removing the SIM card. There's also the more practical problem of how many people forget their passcode to unlock their phones, which would make things even worse if they can't even turn their phone off. But you're more than welcome to contact Apple with the suggestion at: http://www.apple.com/feedback/
