I know it’s an odd question, but where I live phones get stolen often. My phone doesn’t have the option for an eSim, which is a problem because 90% of the time when a thief steals a phone they take out the SIM card immediately, meaning I wouldn’t be able to remotely lock or wipe my phone.

Should I consider glueing the SIM tray shut? Or are there alternative less permanent measures I can take to keep my device secure?

    Thiefs just throw phones into faraday cages to block all access immediately, then they fiddle with it at home. You’re pretty much screwed either way.

      Do you have any sources for this? Or is this something people in the suburbs tell each other over a campfire.

      Source? Because I have many videos as evidence showing thieves throw SIM cards out of the window of their escape vehicle, so that seems to be the common one here
