From Gizmodo -
Find My iPhone can track your iPhone, send harassing messages, etc. It works, but an iPhone thief can just turn off tracking right from the unit by going into Settings, then hit Mail, Contact, Calendars and click on the MobileMe account. Turn off Find My iPhone and all those tracking the unit will get is a little yellow warning symbol when they try to track it if the phone's been previously located.
Even if the thief is not smart enough to dig into the MobileMe account setting, all he has to do is turn off Location Services under General settings—that also cripples Find My iPhone.

enable the password lock... then the thief will have to be a great guesser to even unlock your phone.
