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?

    Have you thought about using a strong unlock method, so they can not gain access to your data in the first place (if all you want to do is wipe it)?

      I'm on a Samsung A34 using a passphrase to unlock, I'm not sure it gets stronger than that? Unless there's something I'm missing

        having proper hardware security like is present on pixels would help a lot. if you can, look into a pixel and put grapheneos on it. I know it doesn't solve your sim removal issue but the documentation can walk you through a lot of that.
