With this you can remove the unlock slider so the phone cannot be opened (unless they figure out the "secret" gesture that will unlock phone).
You can also remove the red power off slider so even if they press power button the phone can't be turned off.

A skilled and determined scumbag will probably figure it out but some junkie might not, and you might get your phone back.
