A smart thief merely pockets the portable item and walks away instead of running.

Remember when car alarms came out? Instead of it being a skill to break in and steal cars, now thugs simply rob people at gunpoint for them.

What the iPhone security software should do is have more controls with sensitivity level, like a lockout timer and/or unusual phone number calls feature.

This way people can change their security so it's not the same for each iPhone where thieves can simply change tactics.

To beat a theif requires hiring one and Apple hasn't realized that yet.
