People who need a service dog probably aren’t that tech saavy (if they are elderly) and thus not have a lockscreen, or if they got the service dog because of blindness, they probably don’t want to deal with the inconvienience of a lockscreen (accessibility features might be limited if the phone is in BFU mode), so theft from a person using a service dog (however dispicable that action is) would actually be a great chance of hitting “jackpot” (unlocked phone that you can sell).
And if they do use a screen lock, they probably also have biometrics to make it easier to unlock. Grab their finger or use their face and unlock it and go reset their google/icloud account using those same biometrics. Then you can use the new password to remove the account from the device. Voila, activatiom locks are gone!
Also, even if you can’t unlock it, the parts might still be worth something. You just have to do more crime to make the same amount of money.
This information is for entertainment purposes only, please do not steal phones from the average person, especially not disabled person using a service animal.
(instead, go shoplift from corporate chain stores)
Don’t forget to use their phone and call for help, after which you can put the phone in your pocket and enjoy a free phone.
What if I don’t need help?
😂
They’ve locked down phones too much nowadays to make stealing them worth it.

That’s way, way too much what ifs. Just go up, steal the phone, and scream at them WHAT’S YOUR FUCKING PIN.
This is not a situation I have thought about at length. Absolutely not.

If any bystander asks, just tell them you are doing CPR v2: Mugging Boogaloo
If you kick them real hard they’re more likely to tell you their pin
