How to Auto-Lock the screen in Case of Theft

The feature we saw above is only useful if the screen was locked when the theft took place, but what if someone snatched your phone and ran away, leaving you no time to lock it? For that, you can enable Android’s new Theft Detection feature that uses your phone’s built-in accelerometer to estimate whether a theft has occurred, and attempts to lock the screen.

To enable this, go to Settings > Security and Privacy > Lost Device Protection > Theft Protection and toggle on “Theft Detection Lock”.

The feature is admittedly fallible, as some users have reported it not triggering when put to the test, while others experience false positives. So, for added security, you should enable “Offline Device Lock” which locks the screen when your phone loses network, and “Remote Lock” to give Google permission to remotely lock your phone using Find My Device.
